The clinical presentation of lupus is notoriously variable, often waxing and waning over time. Symptoms can affect different body systems simultaneously or sequentially. Recognizing these signs is crucial for early intervention. Furthermore, understanding the risk factors—both genetic and environmental—provides insight into why the disease develops and what triggers flare-ups. This knowledge empowers patients to modify their lifestyle and avoid potential precipitants of disease activity.
The most iconic sign of lupus is the malar rash, often appearing before or during a systemic flare.
Skin sensitivity extends beyond the face, affecting any area exposed to UV radiation.
Joint pain is often the first symptom that drives a patient to seek medical attention. It affects the vast majority of patients with lupus.
Kidney inflammation is one of the most serious complications of lupus, affecting a significant portion of patients.
Lupus can affect the central and peripheral nervous systems, a condition often referred to as “Neuropsychiatric SLE.”

For those with a genetic predisposition, environmental factors often act as the “switch” that turns on the disease.
