Abstract EN
Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and it is suspected in SLE patients with abnormal urine analysis or kidney function test found during routine lab investigations.
Despite the improvement of management plans, up to 10 percent of the patients end up to have end stage renal disease (ESRD).
We report a case of a 47-year-old female known case of SLE who had severe form of lupus nephritis though she had mild deterioration in kidney function.
In spite of having multiple risk factors for renal failure, she showed a significant improvement with early detection and immunosuppressive therapy.
