World Kidney Day 2023

March is National Kidney Month, and the Day is Thursday, March 9th.

Many people with lupus develop problems with their kidneys, so this day and month of recognition are significant to us and our community. Lupus can cause a kidney disease called Lupus nephritis – inflammation in the kidneys that can make them stop working. When the kidneys aren’t working well, waste builds up in the blood and extra water builds up in the body. Lupus nephritis is most common in people ages 20 to 40. It usually starts within 5 years of your first lupus symptoms.

Help us to stimulate insight into the underlying causes of lupus and lupus nephritis and create unprecedented opportunities to reduce the need for invasive diagnostics procedures, and develop more effective therapies.

For more information take a look at our Lupus and kidneys page
