What’s New in Lupus Nephritis? A Research & Treatment Update

Lupus nephritis is a common and dangerous complication of lupus marked by inflammation that can lead to damage and possible failure of the kidney. While up to half of people with lupus develop lupus nephritis, a new survey by the Lupus Research Alliance found that 1 out of 2 people diagnosed with it do not know that it means they have lupus. The need for education is clear.
