I have lupus sle and my c3 and c4 is low .. can this affect me ttc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Low C3 and C4 are common in lupus and usually have no clinical implications. They are seen in lupus patients with skin or kidney involvement. If your kidneys are normal i would not worry.
