Systemic lupus erythematosus (Libman-Sachs disease, SLE) is a systemic disease characterized by chronic autoimmune inflammation of the connective tissue (forms the outer integument of organs and the supporting frame), as well as blood vessels (all organs and systems are involved in the process). In the autoimmune process, the body creates antibodies to its own organs and tissues, which causes damage to the entire body. The disease got its name because of a specific symptom - a rash on the cheeks and bridge of the nose, which, as it was noticed back in the Middle Ages, in its shape resembles the bite of a wolf.

Lupus is not only about a connective tissue disease with characteristic rashes on the body and face. Systemic lupus erythematosus is a serious disease that can affect any organs: kidneys, heart, lungs, joints ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, Liebman-Sacks disease) is a diffuse connective tissue disease characterized by systemic immune complex damage to connective tissue and its derivatives, with damage to the vessels of the microcirculatory bed. A systemic autoimmune disease in which antibodies produced by the human immune system damage healthy cells, mainly connective tissue is damaged with the obligatory presence of a vascular component.

The disease got its name because of its characteristic feature - a rash on the bridge of the nose and cheeks (the affected area resembles a butterfly in shape), which, as they believed in the Middle Ages, resembles the places of wolf bites.

Every day I receive hundreds of questions from my Followers, Friends, Acquaintances, Patients and complete strangers. All of them are very concerned about health issues. After all, Health is a priceless gift of nature, which everyone disposes of at their own discretion. And it is on how much you are informed about diseases or a condition that worries you, and how you act correctly, your life, your present and future largely depends. As a practicing doctor, I know perfectly well how important it is for the patient to see a doctor in a timely manner, because in the early stages it is much easier to treat any disease than when time is lost. That is why education is my mission and the most important goal of my professional activity. You can also get answers to current questions. You will learn how to maintain health, how to prevent certain diseases, because health is much more dependent on people's habits and nutrition than on medical art. Videos are divided into thematic blocks. The task of the doctor is to convey to people important information about diseases and to immediately contact the doctor in order to avoid complications.
