Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - causes, symptoms, diagnosis & pathology

This channel is a gift to medical students

My lecturer took 1 hour for this topic.. and you guys nailed it in 11 mins...

I was diagnosed in ‘98 and I’m 2009 I got a kidney transplant but it only lasted 4 years. I am now doing peritoneal dialysis and going through the Transplant Work Up again to try and get on The List once again and hopefully I will get that amazing gift. I have a gorgeous daughter and 3 amazing and gorgeous grandchildren 💖. This video was spot on. I pray for all of us and everyone that is going through some kind of illness. Stay Strong 💪🏼💜💜💜

I am a registered nurse with 13 years of experience and diagnosed with SLE approximately 5 years ago. This is the first time that I completely understand the disease process and why each of these tests are ordered during times of disease activity. Thank you!

"Avoid sunlight". Maybe the word "Lupus" is a historical reference to having to stay out of the sun...? (Werewolves only come out at night)

Thank you so much for this video, I was diagnosed with severe SLE and Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome around 7 months ago, and although I know the medications and treatments, I want to understand the aetiology and how to interpret my blood results. This is empowering and invaluable. From reading the comments there are so many other sufferers and desperate medical students who feel the same. You've now given me a springboard of terminology research into further

I'm being investigated for lupus and this video helps me understand the disease a lot better. Thank you 🙂

Thanks for this great explanation of Lupus. I’ve been recently diagnosed with Lupus but the doctor didn’t give me any information on this disease. Now I understand what type of this disease this is. Lupus sounds like a complicated disease. It’s quite scary. Everything’s in God’s hands. Hopefully they’ll be a cure soon since so many people suffer from this destructive disease.

Wowwwww absolutley amazing, you need only 11 minutes in explain this pathology. I understood very well, much better than book. Thank you for this!

"It's HIP to get lupus" mnemonic for drug inducing lupus: Hydrazaline, Isoniazide, Procainamide.

I really like the casual tone of these videos, saying "alright!" and "okay!" often. 😊

My mother was diagnosed with SLE and she’s having a flair up… she has it pretty severe and it’s really hard to watch. I’ve had to call my dad to rush her to the hospital bc of serious high fever and bp. She was delirious and in and out of consciousness. I’ll have to leave the country soon to go to the military and try to support my family. My mom is 48 and my dad 49, I’m 17 (18 in a month) and we can barely pay rent… I’m so worried for them but this is the only way they’ll be able to live at least semi comfortably in the last 30 or so years of their lives. I just hope I can get her help and although I care we have a rough relationship and her marriage is not going well either. This just have to get better ❤️‍🩹

Shoutout to Osmosis for getting me through 4 years of Nursing School

I can't believe how brilliant these videos are - you are doing everyone a big favor, I'm certain you'll get more traction

I go to Harvard Medical School and my professor posted one of your videos as a resource. Now I've been using Osmosis for months and can honestly say it's one of the best resources on youtube. Thanks so much for the amazing videos! Please keep em coming

Thank you for explaining this complicated stuff so well! I suffer from SLE and have struggled to understand for ages.Now both me and my husband are more clarified.

Came here after my dad had a fall. He’s getting older and he has lupus which has brought along arthritis. I’ve always known he had it but today I couldn’t sleep thinking about him and found this video. Thank you for the knowledge. I always avoided my dads disease but only out of ignorance

I have been a doctor for over 5 years now but I don’t think I ever understood SLE before! Thank you!

My God, this guy's a genius. Thank God for people who did their homework in school, took their studies seriously, had supportive parents and family and the means to go to medical school. He rattled off his medical jargon and terminology like a total pro. Great explanation of a very, very complex disease.

I was diagnosed with SLE, but my Antinuclear Antibodies corrected themselves. I recently showed my Mother's Nurse, and she was surprised as were my doctors. So was I. I've been testing negative consistently for years after being hospitalized and receiving chemotherapy. I also has a TIA. So far, things are going well by using food as medicine as opposed to drug therapy. I have two Doctorates in Naturopathic Medicine, One in Chinese Medicine and am a few credits away from fully qualifying for my MD. I'm also studying Law, and other topics. I don't know how you feel about God, but though it gets hard to manage juggling life's elements, I believe God is healing me for a greater purpose.
