Lupus Nephritis
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes your body to attack your own tissues in organs. As a result, you’re left with pain and inflammation in the skin and joints. It’s also common to experience severe rashes all over your body, fatigue, and fever. The condition also affects blood cells, the heart, lungs, and brain. If a person with lupus also experiences kidney inflammation, they develop lupus nephritis. The name comes from nephrons — the parts of the kidney that filter the blood. Left untreated, it could lead to kidney failure.
The symptoms of lupus nephritis may vary from one person to the next. However, the most common ones include:
Swelling of the hands, ankles, and/or feet
High blood pressure
Blood in the urine
Foamy urine
Increased urination — especially at night
