Lupus

ABSTRACT

Lupus is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system becomes hyperactive; results in the formation of auto-antibodies that react with the self antigens to form immune complexes. These immune complexes build up in the tissues; can cause inflammation, injury to tissues, pain and bring about the symptoms[1,2]. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [SLE] is one of the type of lupus which affects multiple organ systems and is multifactorial in etiology[2,3]
