What is lupic nephiritis?

Lupus nephritis, also known as lupic nephiritis, is a kidney disorder that occurs as a result of lupus, an autoimmune disease. Lupus is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs, causing inflammation and damage. Lupus nephritis specifically affects the kidneys, leading to inflammation and impairing the organ's ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. This condition can range from mild to severe, and if left untreated, it can progress and cause kidney failure. Lupus nephritis requires proper medical management to control symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent further kidney damage.
