MalaCards: Lupus Erythematosus, also known as lupus, is related to leukemia and pancreatitis. An important gene associated with Lupus Erythematosus is TLR5 (toll-like receptor 5), and among its related pathways are Systemic lupus erythematosus and Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. The compounds calcium and atp have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, whole blood and thymus, and related mouse phenotypes are cellular and homeostasis/metabolism. CDC: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system produces antibodies to cells within the body leading to widespread inflammation and tissue damage. The causes of SLE are unknown but are believed to be linked to genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. SLE may be characterized by periods of illness and remissions. SLE has a variety of clinical manifestations and can affect joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. People with SLE may experience fatigue, pain or swelling in joints, skin rashes, and fevers. A team approach in treating lupus is often warranted due to the number of organ systems involved.2 Wikipedia: Lupus erythematosus is a name given to a collection of autoimmune diseases, in which the human immune...44 more... |
