Lupus is a fairly common disease that comes with a lot of confusing symptoms, so it can look very different from one person to the next. That’s why it is important to understand and learn a bit more about what lupus is–and what it isn’t.

Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can can affect any tissue or organ in the person’s body, including the skin and joints. Some of the most serious ways that lupus impacts the organs is through kidney disease and heart disease, which can lead to critical illness and even death.

IPOKRATE and the World Lupus Federation invite everyone around the world to participate in the annual observance of World Lupus Day.
