Can lupus erythematosus be cured?

Lupus erythematosus is not strictly curable, but it is manageable. Just like diabetes and hypertension are also states that can be controlled by medications and cannot be cut off by drugs. The treatment of lupus erythematosus, with the development of rheumatology in recent decades, has also seen the emergence of many new drugs. From a five-year mortality rate of more than 90% in the earliest lupus erythematosus, the current five-year mortality rate is less than 10%. The survival rate of lupus erythematosus has been greatly improved due to the use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants. In the past, patients with lupus did not even dare to imagine getting pregnant again. Most of the lupus patients were teenage women, and fertility was the main problem they faced. Now, with the development of medicine, when the disease is ideally controlled, many lupus patients have successfully given birth to their own children. Therefore, the treatment of lupus erythematosus is still progressing at present, and it is most important to follow up regularly, because many patients may control the disease well and never come to see it again, with serious consequences, and they need to follow up regularly every month or every 3 months to control the disease. It is recommended to follow up at a fixed hospital with a fixed doctor.
