About half the people who have systemic lupus will develop kidney disease. There are 5 types( 6 if you count no disease as a type) and the type is determined by a kidney biopsy.

Protein in the urine means the glomeruli are not able to do this.
What can help a dog with kidney disease?
Probably the same things that help humans with kidney disease, as the structure of the kidney is similar. Some of these things are: - Always make sure the dog has access to water - Reduce the amount of protein in the dogs diet (kidney disease results in animal protein not being as quickly processed, and toxins build up in the blood) In humans, drugs such as ACE inhibitors and sometimes steroids are used in kidney disease treatment. These options are at the discretion of the veterinarian.
