The Duke Lupus Registry is a long-term study that follows people with lupus (a condition where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues) as they receive care at Duke. By keeping track of how active your disease is, what medications you take, and how you're doing overall, doctors hope to improve treatment for all lupus patients and better understand important health questions like pregnancy safety, heart health, and emotional well-being.
Lupus affects each person differently, and doctors need better information to provide the best possible care. This registry will help researchers learn more about what affects how lupus progresses and how different treatments work, so they can help both current and future patients live better lives.

Participating is simple and fits into your normal routine. At each regular appointment with your rheumatologist at Duke, you'll fill out a brief questionnaire about how you're feeling, your doctor will assess your lupus activity, and you may be asked to provide a small blood sample. You won't need to make any extra trips to Duke — everything happens during your scheduled visits.
