A member asked:
What does lupus do to the different organs of the body, and what would the symptoms include?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies!: Many organs can be affected, either nnoe, one, or several. Usually patients have mild disease and early recognition and treatment with anti-malarials may prevent more serious disease from coming. The associated chart shows the organs and disease profile, but ity is incomplete in not showing that kidneys can be affected, as well as the brain!
