    Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by the abnormal production of autoantibodies, leading to inflammation and damage to multiple organ systems. Predisposing factors include being female, of childbearing age, Asian, or having abnormal estrogen metabolism. Stress, sunlight, infections, and pregnancy can precipitate flares. Common manifestations include a butterfly rash, joint pain, anemia, edema, and impaired kidney and heart function. Prognosis is poor if cardiovascular, renal or neurological complications develop.
