Lupus Warning Signs: How to Recognize This Elusive Autoimmune Disease

When Lupus Affects Your Kidneys

Lupus nephritis, or kidney inflammation, is a serious complication that can lead to kidney damage if untreated. Symptoms include swelling in the legs, feet, and around the eyes, along with dark or foamy urine and high blood pressure.

If you notice swelling, changes in urination, or unexplained high blood pressure, it’s important to check for lupus-related kidney issues early to prevent lasting damage.
