Lupus nephritis is one of the most serious complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the kidney, immune complexes and autoantibodies activate mesangial cells that secrete cytokines that can further amplify inflammatory processes. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with lupus nephritis accompanied by periods of exacerbation of SLE, with necrotic-like skin lesions, psoriatic...

We retrospectively analyzed the risk factors for persistent nephritis in a cohort of 138 children. Of 35 children with abnormal 7d-UA, 24 (69%) had an abn...
