There are two types of lupus:
No, not generally. Lupus, generally is talking about SLE which is systemic. SLE has no cure only treatment for the symtoms, whereas Discoid can be treated and go away.
The abbreviation of systemic lupus erythematosus is SLE.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is the full form of SLE.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues, organs, and cells. Protein in the urine (proteinuria) can occur in some individuals with SLE due to kidney involvement (lupus nephritis), but it is not the primary cause of the disease. Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of SLE.
There are no known ways to avoid developing SLE. However, it is possible for a patient who has been diagnosed with SLE to prevent flares of the disease.
The worst type of lupus is often considered to be systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE can affect multiple organ systems, including the kidneys, heart, and brain, leading to severe complications. Its unpredictable flare-ups and potential for serious damage make it particularly challenging to manage. Other forms of lupus, such as cutaneous lupus or drug-induced lupus, are generally less severe and primarily affect the skin or are triggered by medications.

While anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can coexist, the presence of anemia in childhood does not necessarily indicate that your current diagnosis of lupus is incorrect. SLE is an autoimmune disease with specific criteria for diagnosis, and if you've been diagnosed with it for nine years, it suggests that your healthcare providers have found evidence supporting that diagnosis. However, it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your doctor, as they can evaluate your symptoms and medical history for a comprehensive assessment.
