What is lupus of kidney?
Lupus nephritis, or lupus that affects the kidney, occurs in about 40% of systemic lupus cases. Either the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys or immune complexes from autoimmune activity elsewhere in the body get deposited in the kidneys, causing inflammation. The result is that the person "spills" protein and cellular casts into the urine. Protein is supposed to be filtered out of the urine and returned to the blood. There are no symptoms of lupus nephritis in the early stages. In progressive stages the patient may have an increase in blood pressure and equal swelling in both lower extremities. Regular urinalysis is the best way to catch lupus nephritis early when it is easiest to treat. The specific type of lupus nephritis is determined by a kidney biopsy. The type or classification determines the treatment plan.

Why there is protein in urine in the systemic erythematosus?

Protein in the urine means the glomeruli are not able to do this.
