What are the effects of alcohol on Lupus?
Alcohol can have several effects on individuals with lupus, primarily by potentially exacerbating symptoms and increasing the risk of complications. It may interfere with medications used to manage lupus, diminishing their effectiveness or increasing side effects. Additionally, alcohol can affect liver function, which is particularly concerning for those taking certain lupus medications. Overall, moderation and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for individuals with lupus considering alcohol consumption.
What are the long-term effects of lupus?
Long term effects of lupus are entirely dependent upon the severity of the disease, how long the disease has been present, and the organs and tissues affected. Some lupus patients live full productive lives with normal life spans even though they have lupus. Other lupus patients live only days and die.
Can lupus affect your liver?
Yes, lupus can affect the liver, although it is not as common as its effects on other organs.

Additionally, certain medications used to treat lupus can also have hepatotoxic effects. Regular monitoring of liver function is important for individuals with lupus.

Are lupus patients fat?
Not necessarily, but many lupus patients will gain weight due to an anti-inflammatory drug that they often take called Prednisone. This causes excessive weight gain. Sometimes lupus effects the digestive organs, resulting in digestive issues that cause weight loss. Often medications and other symptoms of lupus cause the patient to feel nauseous and vomit a lot, which is also another cause of weight loss due to lupus.
