Lupus

Lupus, also known as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), is a complex autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues and organs. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, heart, and nervous system. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, fever, hair loss, and sensitivity to sunlight. Since lupus can involve multiple organs, early diagnosis and continuous monitoring are essential for effective management. At Dr. Sowmya Kotha’s Rheumatology Clinic, patients receive individualized treatment plans focused on controlling inflammation, preventing organ damage, and improving overall well-being. Modern therapies, regular follow-up care, and patient education help manage symptoms and reduce disease flare-ups. The goal is to help patients maintain a healthy and active lifestyle while minimizing long-term complications.
