Do people die frum lupus

Answer 1

Most cases of systemic lupus are mild to moderate. If the patient receives regular medical monitoring and follows their treatment plan, they can expect to live a normal life span. However, lupus can be fatal. 40% of lupus patients will have lupus nephritis or kidney disease. Untreated, it is usually fatal. If lupus attacks the liver one is more likely to die. Uncontrolled infection can be fatal. Lupus patients are twice as likely to suffer a cardiovascular event.

Accurate statistics on lupus deaths are not available. If a lupus patient gets pneumonia and can't fight it and they die, the cause of death is listed as pneumonia. If they die of kidney failure from lupus nephritis, the cause of death is listed as kidney failure. And if they die of a heart attack or stroke, that is listed as the cause of death rather than atherosclerosis brought on by years or decades of inflammation.

yeah, u could. but, that is not likely

Lupus most often develops between the ages of 14 and 45, but can develop at any age. Between the ages of 14 and 45, nine of out of ten lupus patients are women. The numbers are more equal among the young and the old. Lupus is approximately 3 times more prevalent in people of color.

Answer 3

Anyone can develop lupus. During childbearing years 9 out of 10 people with lupus are women. The numbers are a little more even before puberty and after menopause. Lupus affects people of color (Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, Latina, and African American) more than Caucasians.
