Lupus or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that affects various organs in the body. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks normal tissues in the system resulting in damage or organ failure. Although Selena is young and active, she has to undergo kidney transplant because the disease already affected her kidneys. Now, she is back in the spotlight with the help of her beautiful friend Francia Raisa, who selflessly donated her other kidney to save her.
