Can systemic lupus erythematosus be completely remitted?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 36 years old, male. Unfortunately, I have systemic lupus erythematosus, and my survival has been severely affected. However, this disease keeps recurring, and it never seems to fully improve. I would like to ask if systemic lupus erythematosus can completely heal on its own?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the patient has been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease caused by immune dysfunction, which cannot be fully cured but can be relieved through medication. The patient should pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and protect themselves from ultraviolet radiation. Follow the doctor's advice, take oral medication regularly for a long period, and undergo periodic blood tests, including a complete blood count, urinalysis, double-stranded DNA, complement, and other detailed examinations to determine if there is any lupus activity.
