tissues.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThis can affect various organs including the skin, joints, kidneys, blood, heart, and lungs with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, often fluctuating between periods of remission and flares.<br>\u200e<br>\u200eThe event aligned with this year\u2019s theme: \u201cShine a Light on Lupus\u201d, reflecting the Hospital\u2019s collective mission to bring visibility to the
