Toczeń (TRU): choroba, która udaje wiele rzeczy. Jak ją rozpoznać i leczyć, żeby dojść do remisji

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a ghost disease. It can mimic anything. Fatigue. Depression. Skin problems. Joint pain. And sometimes it silently attacks the kidneys, heart, or nervous system. Sometimes it looks like a "common" dermatological problem. Other times, it looks like fatigue that doesn't go away. That's why it's often diagnosed too late. In Poland, approximately 18,500 people live with SLE—including as many as 16,600 women. The disease often begins when life is in full swing: work, plans, motherhood. About 70% of patients have moderate or severe disease. Severe disease can affect up to 4,000 people. The mortality rate is 2-3 times higher than in the general population—mainly due to cardiovascular complications, infections, and kidney involvement. It's an autoimmune, rheumatological disease that's very difficult to diagnose. There's no single test that says "this is it." My guest is Prof. Zbigniew Żuber—President of the Polish Society of Rheumatology @reumatologia.ptr We discuss: – what SLE really is, – what symptoms it causes (there are many and often non-obvious), – why diagnosis can be delayed, – how to manage the patient wisely and in a modern way, – and why the goal of treatment should be remission—not "somehow," but as best as possible. Because lupus is a disease that hides in the shadows for a long time. It's time to bring it out of this shadow.
