What causes SLE?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.

Additionally, abnormalities in the immune system, such as the production of autoantibodies that target the body's own tissues, play a key role in causing the symptoms of SLE.
