ShareSystemic Lupus Erythematosus-Raktadhika Vata Rakta
रक्ते शोफोऽति-रुक्तोदस्ताम्रश्चिमिचिमायते।
स्निग्ध-रूक्षैःशमंनैतिकण्डू-क्लेद-समन्वितः॥
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical presentations resulting from its effect on multiple organ systems. There are four main types of lupus: neonatal, discoid, drug-induced, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the type that affects the majority of patients. Patients with lupus experience a loss of self-tolerance as a result of abnormal immunological function and the production of autoantibodies, which lead to the formation of immune complexes that may adversely affect healthy tissue. SLE is a chronic disease that affects various organ systems, primarily as a consequence of the formation and deposition of autoantibodies and immune complexes, leading to eventual organ damage
Due to the close similarity of its symptoms, this disease is compared to Raktadhika Vata Rakta. Vata Rakta is considered to be the finest illustration of Avarana(obstruction) Vyadhi. Right from its etiopathogenesis to its complications, the illness follows the characteristic presentation of Avarana. Due to indulgence in aahara (food)and vihara(lifestyle) that causes the vitiation of Vata dosha and Rakta dhatu, there occurs marga avarodha of vata by dushita Rakta. This leads to further vitiation of Vata dosha which in turn vitiates Rakta dhatu further more to result in the lakshana utpatti of Vatarakta.
Causes of SLE
As SLE is an autoimmune disorder, normal variations (polymorphisms) in many genes can affect the risk of developing SLE, and in most cases multiple genetic factors are thought to be involved. In rare cases, SLE is caused by mutations in single genes. Sex hormones and a variety of environmental factors including viral infections, diet, stress, chemical exposures, and sunlight are also thought to play a role in triggering this complex disorder.
Symptoms of SLE
- General signs and symptoms observed in SLE include fever, fatigue, and weight loss. The skin, musculoskeletal system, and pulmonary system are primarily affected
- SLE patients who report symptoms involving the skin most commonly have a red rash on the nose and cheeks following exposure to the sun. This “butterfly” rash is identified in a significant number of SLE patients at some point during the disease course
- Patients experiencing photosensitivity reactions also report skin rashes on other areas of the body that were exposed to the sun.
- Other symptoms associated with skin manifestations include alopecia, Reynaud’s phenomenon, and sores in the mouth or nose.
- Musculoskeletal involvement includes arthralgias, myalgias, and/or arthritis. Arthritis can affect any minor or major joints, commonly presenting as painful, stiff joints accompanied by either occasional or persistent inflammation
- Patients with pulmonary symptoms report painful breathing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Pleural effusion and pulmonary hypertension
- SLE also affects the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and hematological systems, as well as the central nervous system (CNS). Cardiovascular effects often include pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, and coronary artery disease.
- SLE patients with CNS manifestations may experience headaches, depression, anxiety, seizures, stroke, or cognitive impairment.
- Renal involvement in SLE typically results in diminished kidney function, which may result in elevated serum creatinine levels and proteinuria.
