Kidney inflammation caused by systemic lupus erythematosus — a major cause of morbidity in SLE.
Lupus nephritis presents with proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and reduced eGFR; kidney biopsy guides class (I-VI) and treatment. Induction with steroids plus mycophenolate or cyclophosphamide, then maintenance immunosuppression, is standard. Blood pressure and proteinuria control (RAAS blockade) are core. Relapses are common and monitored with urine and serology.
Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli) - a diverse family of diseases often presenting with blood and protein in urine.
Abnormal presence of protein in the urine, a key marker of kidney damage and the strongest predictor of CKD progression and cardiovascular risk.
A procedure that takes a tiny sample of kidney tissue for a microscope to diagnose glomerular disease, guide treatment, and assess injury or rejection.
Persistently elevated blood pressure - the second leading cause of kidney failure and a driver of CKD progression at every stage.
Albumin leaking into urine — the earliest and most important marker of kidney filter damage, measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).
