Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and central nervous system. The disease is characterized by cycles of flare-ups and remissions, which often lead to significant health complications and a diminished quality of life. Its development is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Although SLE can develop at any age, it is most commonly diagnosed in women of reproductive age. Treatment generally focuses on symptom management, reducing the frequency of flare-ups, and preventing irreversible organ damage, though there is a strong need for more targeted and effective treatment options.
