Lupus Fund

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Lupus is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing widespread inflammation that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, and central nervous system. The disease course is highly variable—ranging from mild to life-threatening—and marked by cycles of flares and remission. Despite significant advances in treatment, lupus remains one of the most complex autoimmune diseases to manage due to its unpredictable nature and multi-organ involvement.
