What is Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?

SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (SLE) is characterized by an autoimmune response where the body’s own antibodies and immune complexes target and damage various tissues. Prior to the manifestation of clinical symptoms, these autoantibodies can persist in the body for several years, ultimately causing inflammation and irreversible harm to organs.

How to Diagnose SLE?

However, the diagnosis of SLE can be challenging due to the non-specific nature of its early signs and symptoms, which may resemble manifestations of other illnesses.

Can I treat SLE (SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS)?

Will people die from SLE?
