In Italy, Lupus affects approximately 25,000 patients and of these a percentage ranging between 25 and 60% will unfortunately also develop Lupus Nephritis which, if diagnosed late or not treated adequately, can lead to end-stage renal disease causing It is necessary to resort to more invasive treatments such as dialysis or even a kidney transplant. On the occasion of World Lupus Day which is celebrated on May 10th, we talk to you about what it means to live with lupus, what its causes are, the symptoms, the latest research and how science is working to improve the quality of life of patients. We do it together with the professor Fabrizio ContiDirector of the Complex Rheumatology Operating Unit at the Policlinico Umberto I in Rome.
