Lupus is an autoimmune disease that greatly affects the major organs of the body, and it's not yet understood why the skin and kidneys play such a crucial role. Dr. Michelle Kahlenberg, a rheumatologist and medical researcher at the University of Michigan, is studying the correlation of skin and kidney involvement in Lupus. By looking at the shared pathways of these two organs, Dr. Kahlenberg and her team are working on a unique target that will hopefully lead to new treatments for Lupus.
