Lupus (SLE)

About Us

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system confuses healthy cells with foreign substances, like viruses and bacteria, and attacks the body’s tissues and organs. According to the Lupus Foundation of America, the disease affects more than 1.5 million Americans and 5 million people worldwide. Around 90 percent of those diagnosed with lupus are women, and it is 2-3 times more prevalent in women of color, like African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and American Indians.

If you’re one of the millions living with lupus or suspect you might have it, bring your questions to us.

Our lupus specialists will work with you to find the newest and most effective methods for keeping your symptoms under control. As one of our patients, you may also qualify to participate in clinical trials and cutting-edge research studies.

Specialists in our Rheumatology Research Center of Excellence can develop a personalized treatment plan for you that will help you get closer to living your best life possible.
