About Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Bengaluru
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own healthy tissues, causing widespread inflammation that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, blood cells, heart, lungs, and brain. It follows an unpredictable course of flares and remissions, making it highly variable from person to person. The condition predominantly affects women of childbearing age and can range from mild to life-threatening depending on which organs are involved. Its hallmark is the production of autoantibodies that attack the body's own cells and tissues.
