Does lupus cause hepatitis c or b?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lupus and Hepatitis: Nope. Absolutely not. I would be very curious what made you think that lupus can cause a viral infection of the liver. Hepatitis b and c are distinct viruses that can infect and damage the liver. Infections are not caused by other kinds of illnesses but by the very bugs they are named after.

No: Hepatitis c and b are caused by viruses. Lupus is autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your body.
