Our Lupus Program

 

Physicians and researchers at National Jewish Health are working hard to learn more about the causes, treatment and prevention of lupus. Lupus research here and around the world investigates genetics, immunology, environmental triggers and new medicines. Because of past research advances, most people with lupus are leading active lives with a normal lifespan. Current research will provide an even brighter future for people with lupus and other autoimmune diseases.

For more information or to schedule an evaluation with one of our lupus specialists, call Lung Line at 1-800-222-LUNG (5864).
