The Associação de Doentes com Lúpus is a Portuguese nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to support people living with lupus and connect them with their families, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and wider society. Its mission includes raising awareness of lupus, a condition that remains little known in Portugal, and advocating for improved rights and care for patients.

The association provides information about lupus through FAQs, news, articles, galleries, videos, podcasts, and press resources. It also shares updates on research, including studies into medication use among people with systemic lupus erythematosus, and encourages public participation in relevant initiatives. Visitors can learn about the organization’s history, mission, governance, activities, and privacy policy, as well as find useful links and partner organizations.

People can support its work by becoming members, making contact, or contributing through initiatives such as the Portuguese income tax allocation scheme. The association also highlights provisions concerning state-funded reimbursement of medicines for lupus patients under Portugal’s National Health Service.
