Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most dreaded complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Gastrointestinal involvement is relatively uncommon and usually manifests as moderate and nonspecific indications.

Tubulointerstitial hypoxia is a key factor for lupus nephritis progression to end-stage renal disease. Numerous aquaporins (AQPs) are expressed by renal tubules and are essential for their proper functioning. The aim of this study is to characterize the tubular expression of AQP1, AQP2 and AQP3, which could provide a better understanding of tubulointerstitial stress during lupus nephritis.
