Singapore Clinics Promise The Most Effective Lupus Treatment forPatients worldwide

Systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE), universally known as lupus is an auto immune disease wherein the immune system starts attacking normal, healthy and functional cells. It attacks connective tissue and commonly affects kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, joints and nervous system.

SLE is believed to be one of the great imitators because they are commonly flawed for other diseases due to the countless signs and symptoms. Additionally, different signs and symptoms might express itself at different stages and development of this medical condition.

The signs and symptoms of lupus are:

• Butterfly rash (when red patches and dry skin develops on the cheeks)

• Hair loss

• Pain in the joints

• Lung inflammation

• Headaches

Also note, not all the signs and symptoms might be present in a particular patient.

The common risk factors for developing lupus include.

Genetic factors

Research shows that SLE has a genetic link but it does not run with family. The development of lupus in human body is generally due to presence of mutations in multiple genes. Several research studies are still being conducted to understand the lupus disorder in a better way.

Drug-related factors

The development of lupus is sometimes drug-related as well. The lupus condition is reversible when the medication stops. Unfortunately, there is no cure for lupus.

One form of treatment will destroy your immune system and the patient will be more prone to other viruses and sicknesses. Another form of treatment generally deals directly with the signs and symptoms and offers medication to ease the pain that might present itself.
