Overview
There are no established direct causes of systemic lupus erythematosus. Common contributory factors in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus include genetic predisposition, auto-immune diseases, and use of drugs. Less common factors include environmental factors and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
Causes
- Genetic predisposition:[1]
- HLA class polymorphism
- Complement genes
- Female sexual gene due to high levels of estrogen and prolactin
- Auto-immune disease[2]
- Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light[3]
- Can exacerbate or induce systemic manifestations of SLE
- Drug-induced lupus
