If
you need to ask
"What's Lupus?"
this home page is for YOU!
We exist for the
benefit of lupus patients and their loved
ones. The longer name for Lupus is Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
It is a medical illness
affecting the immune system in such a way
that it starts to attack the patient's tissues
instead of protecting them. For some it
can be very mild, for others it may mean
a lifelong illness with the potential for
serious consequences such as kidney failure. |
