I-Lupus yisifo esizimele futhi asihambisani nayo
I-Lupus yisifo esizimele futhi asihambisani nayo ngoba ayinakudluliselwa kusuka komuntu oyedwa kuya kwesinye. Izifo ezizimele ngokuzenzakalelayo zibhekene nokusebenza kabi kwesistimu yakho yomzimba. Ngenxa yalokhu kusebenza kabi, isimiso sakho somzimba sokuzivikela singakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwamangqamuzana omzimba namathisi akho omzimba, njengamagciwane.
Esikhundleni sokumane ukhiqize ama-antibodies ukuhlasela ama- antigens (amagciwane, amabhaktheriya, nezindaba ezifanayo zangaphandle), isimiso sakho somzimba samasosha omzimba sakha ama-autoantibodies ahlasela isimiso somzimba.
Izici zezofuzo nezemvelo, njengezidakamizwa ezithile kanye nezifo, zingabangela lesi sifo kulabo abathintekayo ukuya lupus. Ngenkathi siyazi ukuthi i-lupus ibangela ukuthi amasosha omzimba akwazi ukudala ama-antibodies ngokwawo, yini eyenza i-lupus isaziwa.
Kunezici ezintathu eziyinhloko ezingozini zokubeka ingozi ngenxa ye-lupus: ubulili, ubuhlanga, nobudala. I-Lupus ivame kakhulu kubantu besifazane, kanye nabantu base-African American, amaSpanishi nabase-Asia. Nakuba i-lupus ithinta abantu bazo zonke ubudala, itholakala kakhulu kubantu abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-15 no-40 ubudala.
Ama-Lupus asebenzayo angabangela
I-Lupus yisifo esibonisa inkambo yokugula eguquguqukayo. Ngamanye amazwi, i-lupus wax futhi ihamba futhi isebenza ngokubambisana. Nakuba ukuthuthukiswa kwe-lupus kungenzeka kususelwe ezakhiweni zofuzo , izimo ezingokwemvelo zingakwazi ukwandisa noma zidale lesi sifo.
Izifo, ukukhanya kwelanga, kanye nemithi efana ne-anti-seizure noma imithi yomshoshaphansi wegazi ingakho konke okungabangela i-lupus.
Uma unomlando womndeni we-lupus noma usengozini yokuthuthukisa isimo, ukunciphisa ukukhanya kwakho kwelanga nokugqoka i-sunblock kungakusiza uqede lezi zimbangela.
Okuphawulayo, kunezinhlobo ezingu-4 ze- lupus-systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), i-lupus eyakhiwe izidakamizwa, i- cutaneous (i-discoid lupus) ne- neonatal lupus- kanti i-SLE iyona ejwayelekile kakhulu.
Ngokuvamile, uma une-lupus eyenziwe izidakamizwa, izimpawu zakho zizoxazulula uma uyeka ukuphuza imithi eholele i-lupus yakho.
Ngokuya ngohlobo lwe-lupus onayo, i-lupus ingathinta izinhlaka ezihlukahlukene zezinhlaka nezingxenye zomzimba kuhlanganise nezinso zakho, igazi, isikhumba, amalunga, ubuchopho, inhliziyo namaphaphu.
I-Lupus iphatheke kanjani?
Ngokuya ngezibonakaliso, izimpawu, nokuqhubeka kwesifo, i-lupus ingelashwa ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene.
Imithi evame ukulawula izimpawu ze-lupus ihlanganisa:
- Ama-NSAID, noma ama-painkillers afana ne-ibuprofen (Advil noma i-Motrin) noma i-sodium naproxen (i-Aleve)
- Izidakamizwa ze-antimalarial njenge-hydroxychloroquine
- I-Corticosteroids njenge-prednisone (i-Plaquenil)
- Ama-immunosuppressants afana ne-azathioprin (Imuran) noma i-mycophenolate (i-CellCept)
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi, njenganoma yimiphi imithi, imithi ethile esetshenziselwa ukwelapha i-lupus inezimo ezimbi. Isibonelo, ama-immunosuppressants avimbela amasosha omzimba futhi angabangela ukutheleleka.
Uma ukhathazekile ungase ube ne-lupus noma ube nobungozi bokuthuthukisa isimo, khuluma nodokotela wakho. Kungenzeka ukuthi bayokudlulisela ku-rheumatologist ukuze uqhubeke nokuhlolwa. Ukuze uhlolwe i-lupus, udokotela wakho uzobe eyala ukuhlolwa kwegazi okuhlukahlukene. Kodwa-ke, uma okwamanje ungenayo i-lupus flare, isimo singase sibe nzima ukuhlolisisa futhi sidinga ukuhlolwa kwegazi okuphindaphindiwe phakathi nenkathi ephawulekayo yezikhathi.
