Patient's question:
Recently, my health has been poor, and I often have fever and colds. I took some anti-inflammatory medication, but it didn't work very well. So I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have lupus. Lately, I've been sweating coldly during naps and have cold hands and feet. I have kidney disease. I want to ask if lupus can lead to kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if systemic lupus erythematosus is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to repeated symptoms of kidney insufficiency. Patients can choose to undergo peritoneal dialysis treatment. Rest regularly, prevent fatigue, engage in appropriate activities to enhance physical fitness, maintain a proper diet, and ensure that the diet is nutritionally balanced. It is necessary to go to the hospital for clear and thorough examinations and to receive symptomatic treatment based on the doctor's advice.
