YES!
Lupus does not cause vitiligo. Both lupus and vitiligo are autoimmune diseases. People who have one autoimmune disease often have more than one. Lupus and vitiligo can occur in the same person at the same time, but there is no cause and effect relationship between the two.
Researchers are still discovering genetic issues in lupus. You may be born with the genetic make up that predisposes you to develop lupus later in life. But lupus may or may not develop. In cases of genetically identical twins, both develop lupus in only about 30% of the cases. A baby born to a mother who has lupus might have neonatal lupus which usually clears on its own in six months or so. In some cases the infant might have congenital heart block, but not necessarily lupus.
Lupus is a genetic autoimmune disorder. You are born with it, and it can be treated successfully, however there is no cure.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease the develps in people who have a genetic predisposition and then are exposed to probable triggers like certain viruses, stress, etc. Lupus is not contagious. Lupus is not blood born. Lupus is not spread by anything including insects.
Lupus is found in virtually all countries of the world. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that is not contagious, but rather develops when there is a genetic predisposition and trigger(s).
Scientists do not know why lupus is so predominant in women, but certainly, hormonal and genetic differences make a contribution.
Presumably no. Both partners need to be understanding of what it means to have lupus and they need to be well-versed in managing the condition. In a mature relationship where both partners support each other, lupus would be a 'bump in the road' but would not derail the strong relationship.
At present the exact genetic relationships are not yet entirely understood, however there is a definite belief that there is a genetic link between parents and their of spring in passing on arthritic weaknesses. scientist are working to unlock the key to understanding this relationship. Scientists are using stem cell technology now in an attempt to repair damage done as a result of RA to cartilage, bones and muscles.
It is an inflammatory condition of kidneys caused by diabetes, lupus ,infections and other kidney related diseases.
The scientific name for dogs is Canis lupus familiaris. This differs from their common name, "dog," which is used in everyday language to refer to domesticated canines. The scientific name provides a more specific classification based on their genetic relationship to the gray wolf (Canis lupus).
