Best Answer

Nephritis occurs in about 40-50% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients. If a person does not have lupus in the first place, then they will not develop lupus nephritis. Lupus itself is not directly hereditary. People inherit just the right combination of genes to presdispose them to developing lupus, but something has to trigger the autoimmune reaction. In studies of genetically identical twins lupus develops in both twins only 30% of the time, thereby demonstrating that lupus is not totally inherited.
