Lupus Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur) | Skin, Joints, Organ Systems
Lupus Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur) | Skin, Joints, Organ Systems
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; which we call simply Lupus) is a chronic autoimmune condition involving multisystem inflammation. The etiology of lupus is unknown; however, the pathophysiology of lupus involves production of autoantibodies and formation of immune complexes that deposit into different organ systems. In this lesson we discuss the large variety of signs and symptoms of lupus (and why lupus can be known as the great mimic or imitator of other diseases).

Lupus: Symptoms, Risk factors, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatments.
Systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE, or simply lupus, is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue. Lupus is characterized by multisystem inflammation and production of auto-antibodies that bind to the body’s own antigens.

What Is Lupus?
Lupus is a disease where the immune system becomes over-active. It is a chronic disease which affects one or many tissues of the body; skin, joints, muscles, blood vessels, blood cells, brain and nerves etc. Inflammatory and immune responses account for many of the symptoms observed in lupus.
Due to its many varied and often invisible symptoms, lupus can be very difficult to diagnose. It currently takes an average of 7 years for a patient to reach diagnosis.
Please share this video to help raise awareness of this condition.

Inflammation and autoantibodies can cause damage to any organ, but most often affect the skin, joints, blood cells, kidneys, and brain.
Lupus typically evolves in the form of recurrent episodes called flares, followed by periods of partial or complete remission.
Symptoms vary depending on the body system that is affected, and may include:
- fatigue, fever, or headache;
- joint pain, joint stiffness or muscle pain;
- skin rash, in particular a butterfly-shaped rash on the face known as “malar rash”; or rash that appears or worsens when exposed to sunlight;
- symptoms of anemia, shortness of breath, or chest pain;
- confusion or memory loss;
– nausea, or abdominal pain;
– and urinary symptoms.
Lupus is typically diagnosed between 15 and 45 years of age. The condition occurs more often in people of African, Hispanic, or Asian origins, and is much more common in women than in men.
Lupus has a significant genetic component. A large number of genes have been linked to the disease predisposition, with most of the genes having a role in the functioning or regulation of the innate or adaptive immune response.
Evidence points to dysregulated apoptosis, which leads to increased cell death in lupus patients. Fragments of dead cells are then presented to the immune system as part of regular pathogen patrols. In a healthy immune system, these self-antigens are usually ignored, but in lupus patients, genetic defects may result in formation of intolerant lymphocytes that react to the body’s own antigens. This causes aberrant activation of auto-reactive B- and T-cells, leading to production of autoantibodies and inflammatory factors. While genetic factors underlie the background mechanism, the disease itself is typically triggered by environmental factors such as infections, drugs, or exposure to sunlight.
Because of the wide range of possible symptoms, diagnosis of lupus is challenging. Diagnostic tests aim to detect autoantibodies and identify the affected systems, and may include:
- autoantibody tests,
- complete blood count and other blood tests,
- kidney function tests,
- liver function tests,
- imaging studies for joints, heart, lung, or brain,
- and biopsy sampling for skin, kidneys, joints or nervous system.
Treatment depends on the system that is affected, but most patients are treated with medications that reduce inflammation or modify the immune system. These include: hydroxychloroquine, corticosteroids, non-biologic and biologic immuno-suppressants, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Autoimmune diseases tend to bring complicated symptoms. Many people with these conditions see doctors in several medical specialties. Lupus and scleroderma are two that primarily affect the skin, requiring dermatology care. But these diseases may also affect connective tissues, which are treated by a rheumatologist. “At Yale Medicine, we aim for an interdisciplinary approach for patients who may require the expertise of multiple specialists,” says Sarika Manoj Ramachandran, MD, a Yale Medicine dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine.

Lupus is a disease where the immune system becomes over-active. It is a chronic disease which affects one or many tissues of the body; skin, joints, muscles, blood vessels, blood cells, brain and nerves etc. Inflammatory and immune responses account for many of the symptoms observed in lupus.
Due to its many varied and often invisible symptoms, lupus can be very difficult to diagnose. It currently takes an average of 7 years for a patient to reach diagnosis.
