The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) has issued newly created guidelines for the screening, treatment, and management of lupus nephritis – a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) where the disease attacks the kidneys. Previously, only general guidelines for SLE existed for clinicians… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: Guidelines For Management Of Lupus Nephritis Issued By The American College Of Rheumatology More than 32 million people in the United States have autoantibodies, which are proteins made by the immune system that target the body’s tissues and define a condition known as autoimmunity, a study shows… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: 32 Million Americans Have Autoantibodies That Target Their Own Tissues Three newly confirmed lupus genes are opening new avenues of research at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. A paper published in the April 6 issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics describes three lupus genes discovered by OMRF researchers as part of a massive international collaboration… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: 3 New Lupus Genes Discovered Through International Collaboration To the surprise of investigating researchers, an animal model of Epstein Barr virus protected lupus-prone mice against development of the autoimmune disease. Earlier work had suggested that EBV might promote the development of autoimmunity. “We were completely surprised. So, we redid the experiments, and the results came out the same,” said Dr… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: Epstein Barr Virus Protects Against Autoimmunity Cells that die naturally generate a lot of internal debris that can trigger the immune system to attack the body, leading to diseases such as lupus. Now Georgia Health Sciences University researchers report that an enzyme known to help keep a woman’s immune system from attacking a fetus also helps block development of these autoimmune diseases that target healthy tissues, such as DNA or joints… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: New Targets For Lupus Treatment Inspired By Natural Method For Clearing Cellular Debris Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have figured out how the human body keeps essential genes switched “on” and silences the vast stretches of genetic repeats and “junk” DNA. Frédéric Chédin, associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, describes the research in a paper published in the journal Molecular Cell… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: R-Loops Break Walls Of Gene Silencing A multi-center study of a national survey published in Arthritis Care and Research, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), has established that over half of women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have fewer children than desired.

A team of Italian researchers at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Rome found that the enhancer HS1… View full post on Lupus News From Medical . . . → Read More: DNA Sequence Discovered That Causes The Most Severe Cases Of Lupus Question by Yes, It’s Me: How long does your lupus flares typically last? Best answer: Answer by ??W.a.b.b.y??I don’t have Lupus, but I’m seeing a rheumatologist and I have some sort of autoimmune condition. So I’ll answer the best I can.. I hope you’ll get answers from people who’ve been diagnosed with Lupus though. My flares can last a day or they can last for months and anywhere in between. It varies from person to person. I’ve found Prednisone amazing! If you’re really unwell, speak to your doctor about a short course of Prednisone. There are many support groups online for people with Lupus. You’ll find more support from people who can answer all your questions. http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Lupus/support-group http://www.thelupussite.com/forum/ http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=ac6385440f7cd38a71dc587ed99d57eb http://www.healthboards.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=81 I hope you have a good rheumatologist! ….
