Lupus can affect many different organs and parts of the body and, as a result, there is no single answer to this question. In general, lupus can affect the skin, lungs, heart, kidneys, joints, and brain. Depending on the type of lupus a person has, the symptoms and severity of the disease can vary. Treatment is tailored to the individual and may include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical or occupational therapy. Additionally, support groups can provide a supportive environment for those living with lupus. It is important to talk to your doctor about the best treatment options for you.
