“It was strange that organ damage isn't something that was talked about [w/my doctors], not something I was warned about, not something that was discussed at all until I was experiencing it, until I actually had a kidney biopsy, & I was diagnosed with nephritis class 4."
What's on YOUR card today?
Lupus & lupus nephritis can be diagnosed TOGETHER for as many as 30% of #lupus patients & as many as 60% of lupus #SLE patients see kidney impact.
YOU deserve better! Ask your provider for treatments leading to remission as outlined by the American College of Rheumatology. #shareddecisionmaking.
Lupus symptoms vary from patient to patient, making #lupus hard to diagnose and hard to treat.
If YOU have lupus, ask your #rheumatologist about treatments to help you reach #remission.
