Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are wondering if Lupus is at all related to allergies. There is no relationship between lupus and allergies. Lupus is caused by an autoimmune disorder where your own antibodies are destroying normal connective tissue. In allergies the immune system is causing the release of histamine and other allergen products. They are actually two different systems though both are from the immune system. The Lupus releases high amount of antibodies and allergies release histamine.
