What is Glomerulonephritis / Lupus Nephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units of the kidneys responsible for removing waste and excess fluids from the blood. Lupus nephritis is a serious form of glomerulonephritis caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the kidneys.

Symptoms of Glomerulonephritis / Lupus Nephritis
