The cause of lupus is not known for sure but it has been theorized that some people are born with certain genes that affect how the immune system works. These people are more likely to get lupus. Then a number of other things can trigger lupus attacks. These include viral infections, including the virus that causes mononucleosis, and sunlight.

Completely unknown. Some can be brought on by medications, possibly genetics and environmental influences.

Yet there is no known cause of lupus. However, it is known that women of childbearing age are more prone, as well as black people. Genetics may be partly guilty, so how prolonged exposure to the sun (usually this unleashes outbreaks) and the taking of some medications.

IT IS SAID THAT IT CAN BE A DYSFUNCTION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM,LOW DEFENSES, WHERE THE SYSTEM INMUNOLOGIGO MAKES ANTIBODIES THAT ATTACK OUR BODY, FOR THE GENETIC NOSE TO SEE ANY CASE.

There is No cause or cure

Could be genetics, food, or medicine

Still don't know exactly the cause of the imbalance in the immune system, but research indicates that the cause is a combination of a few factors, such as environment and genetics.

In my opinion I believe that a pre-disposition, genetics and a stressful environment combined to a power supply is not proper lead to the trigger factors of the disease.

The causes of Lupus are unknown.
Although it is believed that there is a genetic predisposition.
Influence of environmental factors: infections, antibiotics (especially those derived from the sulfa drugs and penicillin), ultraviolet light, stress, some medications, and hormones.
