What Causes Lupus?
9. Complications
With modern medicine, lupus is not a condition that is likely to cause much harm to the patient, and the vast majority will go on to make a full recovery. However, it can cause inflammation that can cause complications in a few cases. It is important that the patient is sought medical attention as soon as possible. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect major organs, possibly resulting in severe complications.
While all of the organs can be affected, it is kidney problems that have typically caused the highest number of fatalities historically. Symptoms to look out for include vision problem, breathing difficulties, difficulty thinking, and changes in behavior.
