Nephritis in systemic lupus erythematosus in children. 1976

E H Garin, and W H Donnelly, and R S Fennell, and G A Richard

Twenty-five patients, aged six to 18 years, with lupus nephritis, followed for two to 103 months (median 22 months), have been classified according to renal histology into groups with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (18), focal proliferative nephritis (2), and membranous nephropathy (5). Correlations have been made among specific histologic groups, clinical findings, renal function studies, urinary findings, and response to therapy. In sequential renal biopsies, lesions progressed in most patients with diffuse proliferative and membranous changes; however, chronic renal failure occurred in only one patient and the five-year survival rate (60.9%) is better than previously reported in pediatric patients.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.
