Experts define lupus as a chronic disease or chronic immune-made substances overreact to stimuli and foreign matter from the outside that enters the body.
He explains, in science or science immunology immune, lupus is the opposite of cancer or HIV / AIDS.
In patients with lupus, the production of antibodies which should normally be redundant so that it no longer serves the antibodies attack the virus, germs, and bacteria that enter the body, but it attacks the cells and tissues of the body's own patients.
The disease in medical science called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), ie when the disease has invaded the whole organ or system of the human internal.
Thus, an autoimmune disease called lupus, is a disease with excessive immune. However, Lupus is not contagious, and there is no research that proves that the disease can be transmitted genetically.
Lupus is not a disease caused by a virus, bacteria, or bacteria. The involvement of genetic factors, hormones, and the environment is suspected as the cause of lupus.
However, in saying Lupus is often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are similar to other common diseases, and the causes and treatment of the disease is not known with certainty.
That is why lupus referred to as "the disease of a thousand faces" because the symptoms are similar to the symptoms of any disease in general. When the disease attacks the heart organ disease symptoms would like heart disease.
Some early symptoms experienced by patients with lupus, among others, joint and bone pain, prolonged fever not due to infection, anemia, and tired.
While the symptoms experienced by patients in the advanced stages of the disease Lupus, including red spots shaped like a butterfly (butterfly rash), pale bluish fingertips, seizures, headache, stroke, and miscarriage in pregnant women.
If there are four of these symptoms in someone then see a doctor immediately. Otherwise known early, Lupus as dangerous as cancer, heart disease, and AIDS and can cause death.
It was because of Lupus can affect vital organs someone very easily, such as the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs.
In addition, due to the nature and symptoms of lupus that resemble other common diseases, diagnosis of this disease is usually obtained after doctors gradually learn the patient's medical history and combine various complaints of patients.
Doctors also need to analyze the results of laboratory tests and do some checks related to immunity.
Unfortunately, until now there is no single examination which can be used to determine a person suffering from lupus or not.
However, most of the people of Indonesia have not been aware of the existence and dangers of lupus disease because many people do not know for sure about this disease.
Many also assume Lupus is a rare disease and the number of patients a little. In fact, patients with this disease are numerous and growing.
Therefore, the socialization of lupus to the public is needed to raise awareness of this disease so that the patient immediately receive the necessary treatment or care.
Increase Vigilance.
In line with an expert from the Lupus Foundation of Indonesia (YLI) invites the public to increase awareness of lupus so that every person affected by the disease "autoimmune" it can be immediately detected so get early treatment.In commemorating the World Lupus Day which falls in May, focused on increasing public awareness of the disease Lupus.
LIF data indicate that the number of people with the disease Lupus in Indonesia increased from 12,700 people in 2012 to 13,300 inhabitants per April 2013.
Besides, at least more than five million people worldwide are affected by lupus, where the disease was attacking mostly women of childbearing age.
In addition to the number of people with lupus are increasing, according to him, the community needs to be aware of lupus since the disease is difficult to diagnose.
Early recognition of the disease is very difficult because there are no specific symptoms in people affected by lupus.
According to LIF, Lupus grouping based rapid diagnosis of the disease is detected or not is Early Detection, Mild Lupus, Lupus Severe and Life Threatening Lupus.
Early Detection is the condition when found early disease symptoms of lupus, but still declared negative laboratory results lupus, while the "Mild Lupus", discovered early symptoms and laboratory results had already tested positive for lupus.
Furthermore, Severe Lupus is a further stage when the disease has begun to attack the body's organs, and currently has the affected organ (already infected) and became a stand-alone diagnostic means have reached the stage of the disease Lupus Life Threatening Lupus.
However, Tiara said Lupus disease has so far not been considered as a major health problem, either by the public, the medical personnel, and government in Indonesia.
This emphasized the importance of awareness of this disease. Early detection and treatment will help reduce the adverse effects of lupus.
Therefore, the Chairman of the LIF was advised people to immediately go to the doctor when confronted observer Lupus Lupus symptoms on self and family.
Doctors observer Lupus among specialists in internal medicine, hematology specialists, Rheumatology, and Imunology.
Tiara recommends odapus (people living with lupus) to run a healthy lifestyle, taking medication that the doctor regularly, eating a balanced nutrition, avoiding stressful situations, and prevent excessive fatigue.
Although odapus easily tired, does not mean there may or may not exercise regularly.
Meanwhile, it is said that every human being is basically do require exercise or regular physical exercise for fitness, including odapus.
Lupus patients must pay attention to "fit factors" with a frequency of physical exercise regularly, ie at least three times a week. The more often they move, the more adept becomes.
According to him, the odapus can do some kind of exercise before the move, including breathing exercises, stretching to maintain flexibility and prevent injury to the body when the body moves, as well as muscle-strengthening movements.
Odapus biggest obstacle in the move precisely when they cope with disabling disease of the body limbs.
Associated with the rhythms and patterns of movement, each person physical practice or exercise did have to adjust the intensity of the exercise with the condition of the body.
Physical exercise for odapus remains to be done at a low intensity, ie 60 percent of maximum heart rate and in accordance with the ability odapus from reaching significant levels of fatigue.
There is no reason that it can not odapus exercise or physical activity as long as it still consider the condition and the ability of the body.
