Abstract

Lupus nephritis is a common and devastating manifestation of Systemic lupus erythematosus, occurring in over half those diagnosed with SLE. Renal involvement represents a poor prognostic factor in patients with SLE.

The management of lupus nephritis has evolved considerably, and the outcome of the treatment has improved over the last three decades. Treatment is guided by the disease severity, based on the histopathological and clinical manifestation. Pregnancy in SLE with nephritis had poor outcomes for many years but with newer treatment and improved compliance with the treatment, it has been observed that outcomes have improved. Here we present an interesting case of Lupus Nephritis and the successful outcome of pregnancy.
