A member asked:
Can a lupus patient get another autoimmune disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Has higher chance: A person with one autoimmune disease, such as lupus, has a higher chance of getting another autoimmune disorder, such as thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, grave's disease, vitiligo, etc... However, having an increased risk of getting a disorder doesn't mean the person will surely get it. He might be only a little unlucky and have just one disease.
