What Is Systemic Lupus?
10. Prognosis
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic disease for which there is no cure. However, patients today tend to enjoy a better quality of life than in past generations due to advancements in treating SLE. Research into the causes and management of SLE continues to this day, and the more doctors and scientists understand about the disease, the more effective treatments they may be able to develop.
When you are first diagnosed with SLE, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. Treatment is more effective when it is tailored specifically to you. However, you may require changes to your treatment regimen because the disease does not always progress predictably.
