About Lupus
Lupus is one of the nation’s least recognized major diseases.  It is a chronic and potentially fatal autoimmune disorder that affects more than 1.5 million Americans. In lupus, the body’s immune system forms antibodies that can attack virtually any healthy organ or tissue, from the kidneys to the brain, heart, lungs, skin, joints and blood. Ninety percent of the people with lupus are women and it is two to three times more common among African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans and Asians.
