Lupus SA - NPO Types of manifestations of SLE
The following are common manifestations of SLE. Other kinds of skin lesions or nodules may also occur.

Daily awareness, support, education for warriors, families, caregivers & real stories.💜 We are NOT doctors.

Do NOT respond to any other emails or messages claiming to be us. One or all of these may occur, depending on the severity of the case:

Skin: About 50% of SLE sufferers experience a malar “butterfly” rash over the cheeks and the bri

dge of the nose. This rash may also appear on other parts of the body that are exposed to sun, and is made worse by sun exposure. Musculoskeletal: Characterised by joint pain and development of arthritis, usually in the fingers, hands, knees and wrists. Bone tissue death in the bones of the shoulders and hips can also cause extreme pain. Kidney: Roughly half of people with SLE have lupus nephritis (persistent inflammation of the kidney), while most have protein deposits in some of the cells of the kidney. Those with full lupus nephritis may suffer renal failure, and require dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. Nervous system: Up to 25% of SLE sufferers are affected by neurological disorders, particularly mild mental dysfunction. Any area of the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system can be negatively affected. Symptoms may include headaches, seizures, psychosis and organic brain syndrome (brain function loss). Blood disorders: These affect up to 85% of patients with SLE. Arterial blood clots may form, and are associated with strokes and pulmonary embolism (blockage of an artery in the lungs). The number of platelets (particles in the blood important for the clotting process) may also decrease, or antibodies (proteins normally produced by the immune system to defend against harmful invasive substances) form that prevent blood clotting. This results in lupus anticoagulant. Many patients develop anaemia. Heart disorders: Inflammation of the heart may occur, causing chest pain and pounding of the heart.
