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.

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.
