Lupus nephritis is a kidney disorder that is a complication of systemic lupus
erythematosus.
Causes of Lupus Nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus) is an autoimmune disease. This
means there is a problem with the body's immune system.
Normally, the immune system helps protect the body from harmful substances.
But in patients with an autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot tell the
difference between harmful substances and healthy ones. As a result, the immune
system attacks otherwise healthy cells and tissue.
SLE may damage different parts of the kidney, leading to interstitial
nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and membranous GN. It may rapidly worsen to
kidney failure.
Lupus nephritis affects approximately 3 out of every 10,000 people. In
children with SLE, about half will have some form or degree of kidney
involvement.
More than half of patients have not had other symptoms of SLE when they are
diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
SLE is most common in women ages 20 - 40. For more information, see: systemic
lupus erythematosus.
Symptoms of lupus nephritis include:
Blood in the urine
Foamy appearance to urine
High blood pressure
Swelling of any area of the body
If you have symptoms of lupus nephritis mentioned above, you should have a
timely treatment.

Diet & Fitness of Polycystic Kidney Disease
Although there’s no evidence showing that a good diet and fitness can slow
down the growth of kidney cysts, we have to admit a healthy life style can
effectively prevent the occurrence of many complications. Here the following are
some diet and fitness tips for you.
Diet
1> Limit the intake of protein. Usually, the daily intake of protein for PKD patients should be limited to 0.6-o.8g/(d.kg). It is better for you to eat some high quality protein like eggs, milk, lean meat and so on. And limit the intake of vegetable protein such as peanuts, bean and bean products.
2> Limit the intake of salt. For PKD patients, their kidney function can be affected by the growing kidney cysts. Thus they will fail to remove excessive wastes from body. If you eat too much salt, a retention of water and salt will be easy to happen.
3> Avoid drugs with renal toxicity. A majority of the patients would like to take some drugs to ease their clinical symptoms. However, some of the drugs may does great harm to the kidneys. You’ d better ask for your physician’ s suggestion before taking them.
Fitness
Experts recommend that PKD patients should fight against their kidney disease by changing their lifestyle. They should pay attention to control their high blood pressure, do some proper exercises like shadowboxing and so on. When the cysts grow to a larger size, patients should avoid strenuous exercises and abdominal trauma in case of kidney cyst rupture.
