Treatment of Lupus in Mumbai
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Lupus is one of the most important and complex auto-immune diseases. It typically affects women during their child-bearing age(15-45 years).Its manifestations are varied and it has the capacity to affect any organ system in the body.
What causes Lupus?
The exact cause of lupus is not known. Some people are born with certain genes which determine their predisposition to lupus. A number of other factors are known to trigger lupus attacks (although these things can trigger lupus, they may affect one person but not another person).
- Exposure to ultraviolet light, usually from sunlight, is known to trigger the disease and symptom flares.
- Hormonal factors are linked to autoimmune disease, though the link is poorly understood. There is some evidence that there is increased risk of lupus with higher levels of estrogen (taken for fertility treatments, birth control pills or Hormone Replacement Therapy). There is also some data to show that post-menopausal women have a milder version of lupus.
Some infections are suspected triggers. Viral infections like parvovirus B19 can cause lupus flare. Other infectious agents that have been incriminated as probable causative factors include Hepatitis C Virus.
