Lupusnephritis (LN) - the chameleon of renal pathology
proliferative Lupus-GN
SLE is a polygenic autoimmune disease….

When to think of lupus nephritis (LN) ?
in up to 60% first manifestation of the disease
variable renal manifestation: Asymptomatic proteinuria / hematuria Nephrotic syndrom GN with rapid progressive course (RPGN) Interstitial nephritis
Serum-creatinine and -urea: normal or increased
Urine:
Proteinuria with/without hematuria Leucocytes and cylinders
Autoantibodies in serum: ANAs, anti-dsDNS, anti-phospholipid ab Serum - complement levels (C3, C4) often decreased

How to diagnose LN ?
• First diagnosis of SLE : early phase, class II or V without typical serology, months to years before SLE-criteria are fullfilled
• Known SLE
• baseline biopsy - „silent“ GN • New onset of renal disease • „follow-up“biopsy: after 6 months or after therapy • Repeat biopsy when renal symptoms suddenly change
(Wilhelmus et al, NDT 2015)

(„The classification of glomerulonephritis in systemic lupus erythematosus revisited“, Weening et al., JASN 2004,15:241-50, KI 2004, 65:521-30)
