Genetic factors increase the tendency of developing autoimmune diseases, and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, andautoimmune thyroid disorders are more common among relatives of people with lupus than the general population. Systemic lupus erythematosus is the most common and serious form of lupus. Lupus is called a multisystem disease because it can affect many different tissues and organs in the body.
Most people with lupus have mild disease characterized by episodes — called flares — when signs and symptoms get worse for a while, then improve or even disappear completely for a time. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems.
