50% of adults with SLE will develop lupus nephritis. In children with SLE, 80% have nephritis. In a majority of cases, renal involvement in SLE often occurs in the first year following diagnosis, but can occur at any time in the disease course. 🧵 #LupusLesson #DiseaseWeek #Renal

Time for another #LupusLesson in honor of #LupusAwareness Month! When to pursue a kidney biopsy in lupus patients is somewhat controversial. The most common indications include: - Proteinuria >500 mg/24 h or >0.5 g/g on a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio - Hematuria - Active urinary sediment with cellular casts.

Time for another #LupusLesson. How do we classify lupus nephritis? The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and Renal Pathology Society (RPS) created a lupus nephritis classification system consisting of 6 classes of disease based on morphologic findings on kidney biopsy. #LupusAwarenessMonth #LupusNephritis

#LupusLesson Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease which affects over 5 million worldwide and over 300,000 in the US alone. It has a complex etiology, involving a combination of multiple genetic and environmental factors. The majority of SLE patients develop nephritis. Women are disproportionately affected, as well as patients of minority populations, including African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. #WorldLupusDay #LupusAwareness
