GOMEZ-GOMEZ, Natalia; VELASQUEZ-FRANCO, Carlos Jaime; LOZANO-PINEDA, Felipe    CARO-PALACIO, Juliana. Lupus activity in a patient with end-stage renal disease: a case report. []. , 28, 1, pp.64-68.   24--2021. ISSN 0121-8123.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2020.01.006.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs, and renal involvement is found in 50% of patients and is variable according to racial and ethnic group. It is estimated that 10% of patients with lupus nephritis (NL) develop end-stage renal disease (ERT), and once progression occurs, 80% of patients are negative for activity markers.

However, although it is rare, the reactivation of the disease can occur in advanced renal involvement, and it is important to diagnose it in a timely manner to define the cause and treat it, avoiding complications.
