Does anyone know much about Lupus?

My girlfriend has been dx. with Lupus. They believe it's hepatic lupus.

All her symptoms started with difficulty moving her hands. Her spleen is enlarged. She'll be getting a liver bx soon to verify it's hepatic.

Any information will be great. Prognois. Exactly what hepatic lupus is.

I've been an R.N. for 10 years. I'm surprised how little I know about lupus. Other than the butterfly rash, autoimmune dx, "the basic"
