Lupus is known as an autoimmune disorder- this
means that the body’s immune system starts to attack the body' s own cells. Why
the immune system turns crazy is not known but has been related to bad genes,
environment, a virus or medications. In many cases, just bad luck is the answer to most disorders in medicine.
Lupus can be
inherited but fortunately, not everyone in the family will develop the
disorder. The immune system can attack almost any organ in the body and the
most common are the joints, skin, brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and small blood vessels.
Unfortunately, it is a very unpleasant disorder that is also very difficult to
treat.
