Did you know that nearly 60% of people diagnosed with lupus will eventually develop lupus kidney disease, known as lupus nephritis?
I want to share three reasons why it’s so important:
- Lupus nephritis is a serious and life-threatening complication of lupus that can affect as many as 60% of all people with lupus, and two-thirds of children with the disease.
- Lupus nephritis is highly variable in its severity and response to therapy, with up to 30% of patients failing to respond to treatment.
- Although there have been many advances over the last several decades in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus nephritis, it remains a driving factor in increased complications, hospitalizations, and mortality rates, especially in children with lupus.
