LUPUS - A THREATENING DISEASE

Slovenia is a very greenery country with natural beauty all over. But still, it suffers from many viral, infectious, and some cardiovascular diseases. In this blog, we will discuss not so common, but very devastating disease, Lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation all over the body. This inflammation generally affects the various organs and tissues in your body. These organs or tissues may include Joints, Skin, Heart, Blood, Lung, Brain, or Kidney. The disease can be very severe and often death-defying. Because it can cause permanent organ damage which feels really painful to the victim. However, many people with Lupus experience a mild version of it.

To find out which disease you are suffering from, you must first know its symptoms and signs. Same is the case for Lupus. The disease has both mild and severe symptoms that can be often very challenging and painful. The disease’s symptoms also depend upon on your body part which is affected. Another thing that might also disturb you about it is that the symptoms may get disappeared suddenly. They even can be permanent or flare up occasionally. Yet, the most common symptoms are listed below:

• A Fever
• Fatigue
• Body Aches
• Joint Pain
• Rashes, including a butterfly rash on the Face
• Skin Lesions
• Shortness of Breath

Some other symptoms that may appear late after the disease include several kidney problems due to inflammation called nephritis. The victim may also feel High Blood Pressure, Dark Urine, and Blood in the Urine.

There is no specific blood test or any kind of physical test available for Lupus. Even imaging study wouldn’t help you much. Instead, the doctors consider a person’s signs and symptoms and rule out other potential conditions that could be causing a person’s symptoms. Additionally, a detailed medical history and physical examination may be performed by some professionally trained doctors. Contact the Global Patient Transfer to find out the best diagnostic center near you. The doctor may also perform the following tests:

• Laboratory Tests
• Imaging Tests
• Tissue Biopsy
• The Doctor may also perform a Kidney Biopsy.

Treatment of Lupus

While there is no specific treatment or cure for the Lupus at the moment, you can take several medications to control Lupus symptoms. Some of these medications are listed below:

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• DHEA, a male hormone that may reduce some lupus effects like hair loss
