Symptom #8: Kidney inflammation

Another problem that can occur because of lupus is kidney inflammation, which is usually called nephritis. When the kidneys are inflamed, it becomes harder for them to eliminate toxins from the blood. Usually people suffering from lupus will experience nephritis within the first five years.

Symptoms of nephritis can include hypertension (high blood pressure), bloody or discolored urine, swollen legs and feet, increased frequency of urination, and pain in the sides where the kidneys are located. These symptoms may not be serious at first or they may be dismissed, but if you notice any of these problems then you should consider seeking medical attention.
