Lupus nephritis

Lupus nephritis is a specific kind of kidney inflammation (nephritis) that affects children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

In lupus nephritis, the immune system attacks the kidneys, particularly the tiny filtering units within the kidneys (glomeruli), stopping them working as well as they should.
