What is the definition or description of: lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It is systemic autoimmune disease that is determined by physical findings and lab tests. Certain criteria must be met before one is labeled with this process. A great resource to learn about lupus is the lupus foundation and they have support groups for patients with lupus---some of which are online. I hope this helps.
