12. Asthma

Although it is unclear why, there seems to be a link between asthma and lupus. A meta-review of multiple studies found that people with asthma have an elevated risk of developing lupus. Another study done over 11 years found that people with lupus have a significantly higher incidence of asthma than the general population and speculates that the cause may be related to dysregulation of the immune system.
