An unusual presentation of juvenile lupus nephritis. Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2016 May-Jun;27(3):610-613 Authors: Bottu M, Yadla M, Burri S, Uppin M Abstract The incidence of juvenile lupus varies widely ranging between 4 and 250 per 100,000 population. Most common organ involvement in juvenile lupus is kidney. Neurological, cutaneous and hematological involvements are also involved. Skeletal muscle involvement in the form of myositis is rare. Myositis as presenting manifestation in juvenile lupus is also unusual. Herein, we report one such case wherein myositis preceded the onset of lupus nephritis.
