I believe lupus is heredity as my daughter has it. But I think heredity plus environmental factors combined are necessary for lupus to develop.

It seems so, autoimmune diseases seem to run in families

It’s a possibility but is not known for sure. It was discovered in the 1950’s that there is a genetic component to lupus.

The lupus may have a genetic component. If a family member of yours has lupus or another autoimmune disease you are more likely to develop it than a normal person.

They say that it is not hereditary but there are genetic factors that affect because in many families there are several members with this disease.

In my family (dad - mom) no one has an autoimmune disease, I suffer from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and I have a child of 8 years, a couple of days ago I got the results of exams (I asked for more than anything is routine), and ANA went active. The doctor explained to me a long time ago, that lupus is hereditary, and so passed me.
My lupus is a little bit aggressive, but it varies in each person, the buds are complicated, I've fallen hospitalized of urgency and seriousness on several occasions. And the fact of having this huge penalty in my soul, to know that my son inherited, the crisis increased and I look forward to the arrival of the outbreak with calm, for that also I have been driving doped, so I'm a little more calm and less anxious.
Lupus is a disease that is not the desire of anyone. I hate and detest with all my being.
There will be someone to guide me how to get out of the anguish of knowing that a child also suffers from it? When I knew what I had, gave me a crisis of panic, where the doctor issued the order to hospitalizarme in a psychiatric hospital (I didn't know of the world by 8 days) but my parents decided to medicarme and take care of myself at home.
I don't know if someone serves him the information, but tell it also helps to let off some steam.
