Abstract EN
Kidney involvement is frequent in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), although it may not be present from disease onset.
Renal lupus itself is highly heterogenous with respect to the combination and/or severity of clinical and/or laboratory manifestations.
This is a case of a 45-year-old Caucasian female with an established diagnosis of SLE, who presented four times with new onset of proteinuria during a follow-up time of ten years, since the diagnosis of SLE.
Specifically, she experienced two episodes of lupus membranous nephropathy, and after she achieved remission, she developed twice overt nephrotic syndrome associated with new and biopsy proven lupus podocytopathy.
All these episodes of nephrotic syndrome were combined with systemic symptoms, attributed to lupus itself, while serological activity of lupus was also noted.
This case highlights the importance of performing a kidney biopsy in all patients with SLE who have new renal manifestations, including nephrotic proteinuria.
