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. Inflammation in the glomeruli, the little filters in the kidney, prevent the kidneys from catching protein and returning it to the blood stream. Protein in the urine means the glomeruli are not able to do this.
