Abstract

Introduction: Two of the most frequent Lupus nephritis (LN) diseases are multiple glomerulonephritis and renal fibrosis. Recent studies have verified that 10-30% of patients with SLE after several years (3-6 years) develop LN and end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD) when there is a need for chronic intermittent hemodialysis (HD) treatment. [1, 2, 3]

The paper aimed to assess renal damage due to LN using the results obtained from the examined parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the third stage (a and b).

Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort research (cross-section ") study included 100 patients with CKD (55 were men with an average age of 57.00±8.50 years old with chronic renal disease, 20 with diabetes mellitus (DM) and nephropathy diabetics, 15 were arterial hypertension (AHT), 11 were with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN), 3 with Adult polycystic kidney disease (APCKD)  and six patients were with undefined renal disease, while 45 were female with an average age of 55.80 ±10.50 years old), with primary kidney disease: 16-with diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy,11 with HTA…

Statistical analysis of the examined material: The obtained results from the studied patients with CKD and the control group were statistically processed with arithmetic mean value, standard deviation X ± SD, with student, "t" test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test. The results were processed with the appropriate state-of-the-art statistical program, SPSS V26.

Results: the results obtained at the beginning of the study (for all patients with LN and CKD: women and men) and after 12 months of treatment are presented in tables and graphs 4 and 8.

Conclusion: From the results obtained, we can conclude that LES affects the appearance of renal damage; therefore, early detection and treatment of the initial stages of LN seem to influence the reduction of its activity.
