Patient's question:
A relative was carefully diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, and it is said that this disease is very serious. So, what are the surgical and treatment methods for systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus does not involve surgical treatment. This disease is caused by a recurrence of immune system dysfunction, where the body produces autoantibodies that cause inflammatory damage to normal cells and tissues. It can affect multiple systems and organs throughout the body. Therefore, systemic lupus erythematosus requires immunosuppressive treatment, which may involve the use of adrenal corticosteroids, high-dose immunoglobulins, or biologic agents.
