The Expert Series S5E11: Lupus and bone health

Описание

Inflammation from lupus and treatments can affect a person’s bone density, which makes it easier for someone with lupus to break a bone. Dr. Ummara Shah, associate professor in the department of medicine at University of Rochester, discusses why it’s important for people with lupus to care about their bone health. Dr. Shah also leads clinical trials in lupus and is involved in education of lupus patients at the University of Rochester.
