Boala care îți face sistemul imunitar să-ți atace corpul. Pot trece ani până să fie diagnosticată • Newsweek România

Autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus can lead to the immune system attacking the body, causing varied symptoms that complicate diagnosis. It may take years for patients to receive a correct diagnosis, as symptoms can mimic other conditions. Women are more frequently affected, and the disease can cause damage to various organs, including the kidneys. Researchers are exploring CAR-T therapy, initially developed for cancer, as a potential treatment for lupus. Early results show promise, but the therapy remains experimental and is not yet a standard treatment.
