Research advances are increasing the understanding of lupus and leading to improved treatments and medications.

These advances and a growing body of practical experience in living with and controlling lupus point to a prognosis for people with lupus that is far brighter than it was even 25 years ago.

Nurses and other health professionals who work on a continual basis with people who have lupus can have significant roles in improving the emotional and psychological status of patients so that they can take advantage of this brighter tomorrow.
