What is SLE disease. What are the symptoms and how much it Could be critical. What is the treatment procedure and prevention for cure.

Question

Sle (systemic lupus erythematosus) is an autoimmune disease. This is a type of disease where immune system of your body (the system which fights against germs in our body) mistakenly thinks normal healthy cells to be germ cells or foreign bodies and it decides to kill them and thus causing various symtoms. Sle is quite a widespread disease which can be limited to skin rashes, joint pain and mouth ulcers only but very commonly can involve heart, lungs, kidneys, nervous system and blood cells. So needless to say this disease can be very disabling and life threatening. Treatment depends on which stage of the disease you are having and how many systems involved. Generally treatment is aimed at immunosuppressive therapy (steroids plus many newer drugs) to control your overactive immune system.
