Review on SLE Treatment in Meerut

Lupus is a latin word for wolf, attributed to the thirteenth century physician Rogerius who used it to describe erosive facial lesions that were reminiscent of a wolf's bite.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE/Lupus) is one of the most complex autoimmune diseases associated with dysregulation of the immune system. It can attack and cause swelling in any organ of the body.

There is no single known cause of SLE. Rather, a combination of many things causes someone to have SLE like the genetic makeup, environmental factors like sunlight exposure, certain medications, viruses, stress etc. It can occur at any age from children to adults (mostly 15 to 45 years). It is more common in women than in men (9:1).

SLE can affect any organ of the body. The classic symptom is skin rash on the face or body that becomes worse on sun exposure. It can cause fatigue or tiredness, joint pains mouth ulcers (or sores), Hair fall, bluish discolouration and pain in fingers on cold exposure, Weight loss, persistent fever, Headaches and brain problems (like fits or seizures, mood swings, sudden psychotic or unusual behavior, stroke or paralysis), swelling and puffiness of hands, feet or eyes, Eye problems redness, vision problems, swelling of legs, kidney problems, Muscle weakness, Recurrent miscarriages, blood clots etc.

When one thinks that a patient has lupus, it is best to get the patient evaluated by experts (Rheumatologist doctors/ other experts). They go into details of symptoms, examine the patient, and after various investigations (blood tests like ANA, ENA, X ray, urine tests etc.), can make or reject a diagnosis of SLE. Once it is confirmed that a patient has SLE, experts might have to do more investigations to find which organs are involved.
