Patient's question:
My husband's sister has lupus. She was hospitalized for treatment several times before, but not long after being discharged, the disease recurred. Can lupus be cured?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs. This disease is more common in young women. It can lead to damage to the heart, kidneys, complement system, respiratory system, blood system, nervous system, and other organs. So far, the cause of systemic lupus erythematosus has not been clearly identified, so currently, whether it is treated with traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or a combination of both, it is not possible to cure it. Its treatment is based on symptomatic and supportive therapy.
