About Lupus
Did you know?
Lupus is a serious autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
It can affect any organ in the body, and without proper treatment, it can be life-threatening.
90% of people living with lupus are women.
Because lupus can mimic other illnesses, it often goes undetected. If you or someone you love has unexplained symptoms, ask your doctor about an ANA (antinuclear antibody) test, which can help with diagnosis.
Common symptoms may include:
Extreme fatigue
Persistent fever
Skin rashes or sun sensitivity
Ongoing flu-like symptoms
Abnormal blood tests
