What is Lupus?

Lupus is a disease of the immune system (your body’s natural defense against infections, such as bacteria and viruses). It attacks the body’s tissues, affecting joints, skin, kidneys and other parts of the body.

The most common form of lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE. “Systemic” means several different body systems may be affected, such as the skin, joints, kidneys, nervous system, lungs, heart and/or blood-forming organs.

Another form of lupus may affect only the skin without affecting other organs.
