Lupus is diagnosed through a combination of a blood test, urine test & assessment of physical symptoms. It is essential to seek care from a rheumatologist in conjunction with regular visits with your gp to treat your lupus. Also a skin biopsy is sometimes a useful diagnostic test.

It is very difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are not the same in the patients, this disease goes by outbreaks and may be years inactive and wake up to what's gross, that treats lupus is a rheumatologist and sends you tests to see how they are the antinuclear antibodies if they are active you have lupus.

The diagnosis of Lupus in a first moment would be the identification of some manifestations in the patient, some blood tests can also signal the possibility of the existence of the disease, the blood test FAN (factor antinucleo) , the examination of anti-DNA, can also detect the presence of autoantibodies but can't be 100% sure only with this examination, a set of factors and signals that allows the diagnosis. The expert enabled to make this diagnosis are the Rheumatologists.
