Lupus nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys caused by lupus, and it is one of the most serious complications of the disease because it can lead to kidney failure if not controlled. It often causes no symptoms at first and is found through urine and blood tests, which is why people with lupus are checked regularly. For decades treatment relied on strong immune suppressing drugs, and only in 2020 and 2021 did the first medicines approved specifically for lupus nephritis arrive.
