Hi
LUPUS IS A VERY COMPLEX DISEASE, WHICH INVOLVE ALMOST ALL BODY PARTS

Main features are hair loss, skin rashes, joint pain and swelling, photo sensitivity etc.
But kidney involvement, lung and heart involvement and low blood count are also common in lupus.
It is diagnosed by clinical features and by some blood test like ANA and ENA profile

Hope this will help
