Abstract:
Study on 89 patients with lupus nephritis treated at Bach Mai Hospital from 1992 to 1998. 49.4% patients experienced renal failure when admitting and there was no statistical difference between age groups except to 2 age groups having the highest rate (80.0%) and the lowest rate (33.3%) of renal failure. At the mild degree of renal failure (degree II), the rate of patients with nephrotic syndrome was very high (88%). The rate of patients with nephrotic syndrome was decreased while the degree of renal failure increased. After 1 month of treatments, 38.6% of patients with renal failure had complete or partly recovery of renal function. This rate increased 75% after 2 months of treatment.
