• Abstract:

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It has a very varied clinical picture, which may involve skin, joint, vascular, renal, neurological and other systems. Renal involvement is prevalent and serious, requiring careful clinical management. Therefore, this article is a case report of a patient whose follow-up and treatment were carried out in the Nephrology department of Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Passos. Data were collected from the patient's medical records and literature. The patient's informed consent form was obtained. The evolution of a patient with SLE was described, from suspicion, diagnosis, treatment, correlating with data from the literature.
