important, 80-90 % of lupus patients with live out a normal life!!!
kidney disease is important cause of death as is infection and more recently early cardiovascular deaths in those patients diagnosed young, esp teens and 20’s
Lupus can be on the surface of the skin or systemic (affecting internal organs), or touching both. Systemic lupus should be followed carefully to minimize and address any organ failure.
