Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can attack any body organ.

Lupus expert and clinician Donald E. Thomas, Jr., MD, provides all the helpful information patients need so they can understand and treat this disease.
Highlighting amazing advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, this edition includes new and expanded information on:
• The latest FDA-approved medications
• How lupus affects different body parts
• Advanced labs that improve lupus diagnosis and treatment
• The role of the microbiome and anti-inflammatory diets
• Updated recommendations for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Childhood-onset lupus

The gold standard since it was first published and carefully reviewed by experts in the field, the latest edition of The Lupus Encyclopedia is essential for patients, health care providers, and families.
