Lupus can go into remission, which means that it stops doing new damage. There is, however, no cure, and it will become active again at some point in the future. The aim of current lupus treatments is to control these bouts of activity and keep the disease in remission as much as possible. Most people with lupus have normal lifespans and the majority are able to maintain their independence.
