How many people die from lupus each year?

There are estimates but no solid data. First, lupus is not reported to the CDC so they do not track statistics. Second, lupus patients die from complications of the disease, not the disease itself. For example, a person who has lupus nephritis (40% of lupus patients) and dies from kidney disease would be listed on the death certificate as dying of kidney failure. Lupus patients have double the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke, but if they die from that the death certificate will say heart attack or stroke, not lupus.
