Systemic Lupus Symptoms

7. Is There a Cure for Systemic Lupus?
Sadly, as of now, systemic lupus is a chronic disease for which there is no cure. This doesn’t mean that people suffering from the disease can’t live a normal, full life. With proper care and diligence, most of the symptoms of lupus can be alleviated. New medical research is being done almost constantly and hopefully, treatments and medications for lupus as well as other chronic diseases will only improve over time.
While there is no evidence that the child of a person with systemic lupus is sure to get the disease, they can be more at risk than the average person. It is worth noting that in some, but not all cases, systemic lupus may increase the chances for complications with pregnancies and the potential for birth defects.
