Lupus and Autoimmune Kidney Disease
Lupus and other immune diseases can inflame the kidneys, sometimes before symptoms develop. Kidney assessment is important even if joint or skin symptoms are mild.
Your Clinical Care Pathway
We review urine protein, kidney function and relevant immune tests.
A biopsy may help classify kidney inflammation.
Care is coordinated with rheumatology when needed, including treatment selection, infection prevention and reproductive health discussions.
Expected benefits and limitations
The aim is to control inflammation, reduce protein leakage and prevent further injury while limiting treatment side effects. Improvement may take months, and long-term monitoring remains necessary after the disease becomes quiet.
