Central Texas Rheumatology Associates (CRTA) has been serving the Austin, Texas community for almost twenty years and has brought peace and respite to people suffering from lupus disease.
Causes of Lupus
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect different parts of the body, including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Lupus is caused by your immune cells attacking your tissue as they’re a foreign pathogen.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to life-threatening. One of the most common signs and symptoms of lupus is a rash that spreads across the face like butterfly wings commonly known as a “lupus rash.” Other lupus symptoms include fatigue, fever, joint pain, and skin lesions.
If you’ve been experiencing this kind of pain for a while or if the symptoms are new, you should schedule an appointment with one of CTRAs attentive doctors to discuss treatment.
Lupus Treatment
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for lupus, which is why it is critical to see a rheumatologist who can create a personalized treatment plan for you. Most treatments involve varying degrees of anti-inflammatory medications and swelling-reduction techniques.
The doctors at Central Texas Rheumatology Associates have more than75 years of combined experience treating lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
