Chronic autoimmune disease The body’s immune system starts attacking itself Can affect most organs and tissues in the body – Brain, lungs, heart, joints, skin, blood, kidneys

Your Tissue Cells
Antibodies
Autoimmunity – the body attacking its own tissues

Facts About Lupus
1.5 million people have lupus More than 16,000 new cases reported in the US each year Women in childbearing years – 9 of 10 lupus patients are women
People of all races and ethnic groups can develop lupus Women of color 2 -3 times more likely

Causes
Not known Possibly hormones, genetics and environment Sex hormone estrogen – Women produce more than men
Genetics – Lupus or other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid
arthritis in the family – Greater in ethnic groups – African, Asian,
Hispanic/Latino, Native American or Pacific Island descent

Causes cont.
Environment – Genes increase the chance of lupus, but
some environmental trigger most likely is needed
Ultraviolet or fluorescent light Sulfa drugs and tetracycline (more sensitive to the sun) Infection, colds, exhaustion, injury, emotional stress, physical stress (accident, pregnancy, surgery)

Treatment Strategy
Therapy is tailored for symptomatic relief and slowing progression of organ involvement Individual treatment plans are implemented for each patient and may alter during the course of the disease Prognosis has improved with earlier detection of disease and aggressive treatment of renal disease
![Page 37: UNDERSTANDING SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS - PDF/North Carolina/Lupus 101 S Kennedy.pdflungs and inside of the chest Inflammation : Lungs : Shortness of breath – Pleural effusion](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81d66a95691a377f6d06cf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Medical Treatments Goal - Suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – Ibuprofen
Glucocorticoids – Prednisone
Antimalarials – Hydroxychloroquine
Immunosuppressives – Belimumab, azathioprine, mycophenolate,
cyclophosphamide Anticoagulants

Medication Treatments
Don’t stop your medications without talking to your doctor first!!!
![Page 40: UNDERSTANDING SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS - PDF/North Carolina/Lupus 101 S Kennedy.pdflungs and inside of the chest Inflammation : Lungs : Shortness of breath – Pleural effusion](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81d66a95691a377f6d06cf/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Non-Medical Treatments Educate yourself on lupus Diet and nutrition – No special diet – Well-balanced - low in fat, high in fruits, vegetables
and grains Sun protection Exercise Rest Stop smoking Medication precautions – herbals, supplements Support system
![Page 41: UNDERSTANDING SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS - PDF/North Carolina/Lupus 101 S Kennedy.pdflungs and inside of the chest Inflammation : Lungs : Shortness of breath – Pleural effusion](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042104/5e81d66a95691a377f6d06cf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Pregnancy and Lupus
Plan with your physician – You should not get pregnant on certain medications
because of the increased risk for fetal abnormalities or miscarriage
Off some medications at least 3 months so they can clear your system
– Certain medications cannot be taken when breastfeeding
Avoid becoming pregnant during lupus flares – High risk of miscarriage
Chances of an uncomplicated pregnancy and healthy newborn are improved by waiting until lupus is controlled for 6 months
