How Does Lupus Affect The Kidneys?
I have systemic Lupus and have had blood show up in my urine. In addition, I have low-grade fevers, pain in groin with extreme fatigue, and cold clammy sweating skin and nausea! How can one tell if this is Lupus or something else, altogether? Thank You, Maggie Sund

Lupus is an inflammatory disease. In this disease, the immune system makes antibodies called autoantibodies. These antobodies attack the tissues of the body. Some of these antibodies buildup in capillaries of Kidneys and cause inflammation. This leads to kidney failure.
