📋Overview
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by widespread inflammation and tissue damage. The condition occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies healthy tissues as foreign, leading to the production of autoantibodies. This process can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and blood vessels. Symptoms often vary between individuals and may include fatigue, joint pain, and skin rashes.
