Kidney’s are susceptible to attack from our immune system which can cause inflammation in the kidney itself. Kidneys are a vital organ that can be affected by some rare but known autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythmatosis (SLE), vasculitis, and membranous glomerulonephritis. Autoimmune issues pertaining to kidneys affects a young patient population. 

At Nephrology associates, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach in managing these complex diseases. We work closely with our colleagues from Rheumatology and pathology to formulate the best treatment plan for our patients.
