About Lupus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs and tissues in the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs. Lupus occurs when the immune system attacks healthy tissues and organs, causing inflammation and damage.
The symptoms of lupus can vary widely and may include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, fever, and organ damage. While there is no cure for lupus, there are several medications and therapies that can help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Another medication used in infusion therapy for lupus is rituximab, which targets and destroys a type of white blood cell called B cells. B cells play a role in the production of antibodies, which can attack healthy tissues in lupus. By reducing the number of B cells, rituximab can help to reduce inflammation and damage caused by lupus.
Infusion therapy for lupus is typically administered in an outpatient setting, such as a hospital or infusion center, and may require multiple treatments over a period of time. The therapy is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience side effects such as headache, nausea, or fever.
Overall, infusion therapy can be an effective treatment option for lupus, particularly for patients who have not responded well to other medications or therapies. However, as with any medical treatment, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with a healthcare provider to determine if infusion therapy is appropriate for an individual patient’s needs.
