Lupus..kidney failure? |
My friend has lupus and her both kidneys have shut down. The doctors have put her on dialysis. Are there any chances that her kidneys will start working again? For how long, is she going to stay on dialysis? There are 5 different World Health Organization classifications for lupus kidney disease. A kidney biopsy is required to determine which kind. It is impossible to know what will happen with your friend's kidneys without a lot more information. Lupus can and does affect every organ in the body. 53% of people with lupus have kidney disease. There is an excellent section on lupus and kidneys on the Lupus Foundation of America website www.lupus.org. Source(s): www.lupus.org i am afraid that there is nothing hopeful i can tell you about the kidneys. A person can remain on dialysis for quiet some time , although it is very expensive don't lose heart.pray.miracles do happen.try for kidney transplantation. I had a friend die this October from the same thing. He was on dialysis for three years. Also, I have another friend who's dad has been on dialysis for 7 years now. Every case of renal failure is different...sorry about your friend. My mom has lupus and it's something she knows she will have to face sometime.... Just be there for your friend, pray for them. Your friend still has a chance. |
