A clinical study of lupus nephritis in a tertiary care hospital in northeast India

Proliferative LN was most common type of LN, which was significantly higher in younger females. Higher the histological class, more severe were the renal manifestations. Considering the higher incidence of proliferative LN in younger females necessitating aggressive treatment, there is need for early histological diagnosis of LN, especially in younger females, to initiate aggressive treatment, where indicated, for better long-term outcome.
