Is systemic lupus erythematosus a serious or chronic disease?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

is an autoimmune disease that affects many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc. Systemic lupus erythematosus is incurable and has a wide range of affected areas, so it is a serious disease. In addition, SLE develops slowly, and the condition can alternate between severity and severity, so it is also a chronic disease.

Patients with SLE need to use dexamethasone, prednisone, azathioprine and other drugs to suppress immunity in time, which can control the disease progression and relieve clinical symptoms.
