Patient's question:
Doctor, a colleague of mine has been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. In this case, what should be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should pay attention to reducing their immunity in daily life. Since lupus affects the tissues and organs throughout the body, the focus should be on lowering immunity. During periods of recurrence, it is essential to take medication regularly for treatment. Commonly used medications include corticosteroids and immunosuppressants to alleviate symptoms. In the remission phase, the focus should be on enhancing resistance. The diet should be light and nutritious, and it is important to maintain good lifestyle habits.
