Is lupus hereditary?

Patient's question:

My father has rheumatoid lupus, which is particularly difficult to cure. Hello, is lupus not inherited across generations?

Doctor's answer:

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-gene genetic disease with a certain degree of reverse generational inheritance. The onset of systemic lupus erythematosus occurs when multiple genes interact under certain conditions, altering normal immune tolerance and leading to hemolysis, but it does not necessarily have to be inherited over generations. Maintaining a regular daily routine, avoiding staying up late or sleeping in, not eating too much greasy or spicy food, exercising appropriately to strengthen the body, and not worrying too much is advisable. About 10% to 40% of the time. If you are still not at ease with this disease, you can have blood drawn for a chromosome genetic test.
