Management practice and treatment outcomes of adult patients with Lupus Nephritis at the Renal Clinic of St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is the most common severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which results in high morbidity and mortality. Up to 60% of adult patients with SLE develop the renal disease with different severity. Even with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapies, many LN patients still progress to chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease.
