BASABE, Mearlyn; TROCHE, Avelina; MARTINEZ-PICO, Marlene e MOREL, Zoilo. IgA Nephropathy in an adolescent with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus. A case report. Pediatr. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.50, n.1, pp.58-63. Epub 18-Abr-2023. ISSN 1683-9803. https://doi.org/10.31698/ped.50012023010.
Introduction:
Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies and the frequent development of immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. Lupus nephritis is a frequent and serious complication of JSLE, has a high associated morbidity rate, and is the cause of end-stage renal failure in many of these patients. IgA Nephropathy represents the most common etiology in the general population and is rarely associated with JSLE.
Clinical case:
a female adolescent with JSLE who was diagnosed with non-lupus nephritis (IgA nephropathy).
Conclusions:
The anatomopathological diagnosis is key to establish the prognosis and plan the treatment.
