Systemic lupus erythematosus can affect the kidney in a number of different ways. Typical patterns of renal involvement include focal or diffuse proliferative, membranous, mesangiocapillary (membranoproliferative) and crescentic glomerulonephritides. Interstitial damage, tubular defects and ultimately glomerular fibrosis and sclerosis can also occur.
