Can lupus be responsible for drenching night sweats/profound weight loss? really hoping/looking for information here, not judgment or concern, please!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lupus criteria: Unintended weight loss needs to be evaluated. It may or may not be lupus, but you should consult a doctor. Multiple criteria need to be met to make a diagnosis of lupus. You may consult this site for information on diagnosis of lupus: http://www.lupusresearchinstitute.org/lupus-facts/lupus-diagnosis
