While lupus can indeed be life threatening, Most cases are mild to moderate. Lupus is managed with immunosuppressive medications and lifestyle changes. The majority of lupus patients can expect to live a pretty normal life span.

What causes SLE?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Specifically, it is thought that certain genes, environmental triggers (such as infections, UV light exposure, and certain medications), and hormonal imbalances may contribute to the development of SLE. 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.
