GlossaryLupus Nephritis

inflammation of kidneys due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

Lupus Nephritis is a type of kidney inflammation caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. This condition can lead to impaired kidney function, proteinuria (excess protein in the urine), and, if untreated, potentially kidney failure. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent long-term damage.
