Lupus Glomerular Disease
Lupus glomerular disease is the kidney involvement that can accompany lupus, a disease in which the body's defense system damages its own tissues. In this case the glomeruli are affected—the tiny units that filter blood within the kidney.
Common symptoms: swelling in the legs or face, protein or blood in the urine, high blood pressure, and sometimes no obvious complaints in the early stages.
Context: it is part of the follow-up for people with lupus, since the kidney is one of the organs that can become involved.
Which specialist treats it? the nephrologist assesses kidney function and the internist coordinates the management of lupus; in children the pediatric nephrologist takes part. If you live with lupus, discussing the state of your kidneys with a professional is part of attentive care.
