Now completely updated! The best-selling, most comprehensive guide to lupus, its complications, and management.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can attack any body organ. It is three times more common in the United States today than it was in the 1980s, so there is an increased need for accurate, practical information on this potentially devastating disease. Lupus expert and clinician Donald E. Thomas, Jr., MD, provides all the helpful information patients need so they can understand and treat this disease.

Highlighting amazing advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, this edition includes new and expanded information on:

• The latest FDA-approved medications • How lupus affects different body parts • Advanced labs that improve lupus diagnosis and treatment • The role of the microbiome and anti-inflammatory diets • Updated recommendations for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding • Childhood-onset lupus • The interaction between COVID-19 and lupus • Non-drug treatments, complementary medicine, and medical cannabis

The gold standard since it was first published and carefully reviewed by experts in the field, the latest edition of The Lupus Encyclopedia is essential for patients, health care providers, and families. Bonus content on insurance issues and information about working with lupus and disability is also available online.

A wealth of detail on the many ways lupus affects the human body, the various related treatment options, a range of patient resources for support, and more . . . a caring, comprehensive guide to understanding and coping with lupus. --Library Journal An extremely thorough and readable volume reflecting enormous amounts of time, effort, and research. --Daniel J. Wallace, MD, FACP, FACR, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, author of The Lupus Book: A Guide for Patients and Their Families Finally, an expert clinician who can explain a complicated medical condition using simple conversational English without glossing over important details or talking down to the reader. I will be recommending this book to my patients with lupus and to anyone who wants to understand this illness better. --Joan T.
