What is lupus?
Systemic lupus erythemotosus (SLE) is a kind of chronic inflammatory disease,
which can attack many tissues of the body such as skin, heart, lungs, joints,
nervous system, blood vessels and kidneys. In a word, it can cause damage to
whole body.
While a healthy immune system produces antibodies to fight against bacteria
and other infections, an autoimmune disease like lupus prevents antibodies from
working properly. With lupus, the antibodies are no longer able to tell the
difference between harmful foreign substances and the body’s own healthy cells
and tissue. As a result, the immune system “attacks” its own body parts, causing
varying degrees of inflammation and organ damage.
How lupus affects the kidneys
The kidneys are especially vulnerable for people with lupus. Varying degrees
of inflammation caused by the disease can result in lupus nephritis and even
kidney failure.
Lupus nephritis is the medical term for kidney disease that occurs in SLE
patients. With this disease, the tiny filters in the kidneys are damaged
resulting in a loss of kidney function and high creatinine level which is the
common indicator to show your kidney function. This may lead to fluid retention
with weight gain and swelling, called edema. Puffiness in the legs, ankles
and/or fingers is often the first complaint of lupus nephritis patients. Other
than edema, there are very few signs or symptoms. Lupus nephritis does not
produce pain in the abdomen or back, or burning during urination.
It’s important to be aware that not all kidney problems in lupus patients are
caused by lupus nephritis. Urinary tract infections occur frequently in lupus
patients and require antibiotic treatment.
Similarly, medications used for treating lupus may produce signs of kidney
disease that could be confused with lupus nephritis.
