Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – Overview
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that can affect various organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and central nervous system.

Characterized by periods of flare-ups and remissions, SLE often leads to significant health challenges and a decrease in quality of life. Its onset is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. While it can occur at any age, SLE is most commonly diagnosed in women of reproductive age. Treatment primarily focuses on controlling symptoms, reducing flare-ups, and preventing irreversible damage to organs, though there is a growing demand for more precise and effective treatment options.
