Patient's question:
Two years ago, I got a disease and stayed in a hospital. Now I am still using drugs. I have a red face and headaches now. The doctor suggested acupuncture for the kidneys. Is this effective? Can I take some medicine?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease involving multiple different factors. It damages organs and tissues of various systems through autoimmune complexes. Almost all systemic lupus erythematosus patients have kidney damage, known as lupus nephritis. Currently, there is no cure. The goal of treatment is to reduce the disease and maintain clinical remission at all times. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
