Lupus Nephritis
Lupus nephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys that can appear in people with systemic lupus erythematosus, when the immune system affects the kidney tissue and alters its functioning.
Common symptoms: Swelling in the legs or eyelids, foamy or bloody urine, high blood pressure, and tiredness; sometimes it is first detected in laboratory tests.
When is it a good idea to get checked? People living with lupus usually require periodic monitoring of kidney function, since changes can be silent at first.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist and the nephrologist work together in its evaluation, with support from the internist or the pediatrician in minors. If you have lupus and notice changes in the urine or swelling, discussing it in time with your doctor helps to follow it up properly.
