Unraveling Lupus

SUMMARY: 
Lupus isn’t just a butterfly rash—it’s an autoimmune overdrive that can touch almost every organ system. In this foundations episode, we cover the essentials that are asked most: what lupus is, who gets it, why it’s tricky to diagnose, how it’s classified and worked up, what “typical treatment” looks like today, and what recent guidelines emphasize (think: steroid minimization and treat-to-target). Expect practical insights on assessment, patient education, vaccine timing, and safety monitoring—plus simple strategies to speed recognition and improve handoffs.
