Dr. Patricia Dhar, assistant professor of internal medicine at Wayne State University, commented in a story about Lupus, the autoimmune disease which attacks various organs of the body. "It's America's most common, least known-about disease," said Dhar. Describing the diagnosis for Lupus, Dhar said, "It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together. There's not one test. There are tests you do after you have a high suspicion of lupus based on symptoms and health history." Dhar said it is essential for lupus patients to make lifestyle changes to help manage the disease.
