Lupus
Lupus or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body, most often the joints, skin, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood, and brain.
“Autoimmunity” means your immune system cannot differentiate between foreign bodies (germs or infections) and your own body’s healthy tissues. As a result, the immune system attacks and destroys healthy tissues. Lupus can range from mild to life-threatening and should always be treated and continuously monitored by a doctor.
Lupus Trust India
A public charitable trust, established to support patients who are financially backward and fall under the below poverty line category, the trust will facilitate their treatment and rehabilitation. The trust will also strive hard to render psychological, social and emotional support to the affected.
