== Overview ==
As a manifestation of [[SLE]], [[Lupus nephritis]] shares most of the symptoms with [[SLE]]. A positive history of familial [[lupus]], [[skin rashes]] (especially [[Photosensitivity|photosensitive]] [[skin rashes]]), [[arthritis]], and [[fatigue]] may be suggestive of [[systemic lupus erythematosus]]. The most common symptoms of [[SLE]] include constitutional symptoms like [[fatigue]], [[fever]], [[myalgia]], and [[Weight|weight changes]]. The organ-specific symptom mostly occur with disease progression. [[SLE]] may show a variety of symptoms in different organs depending on its complications. eg.g Foamy urine.

Obtaining the history is one of the most important aspects in making a diagnosis of [[systemic lupus erythematosus]]. It provides insight into disease course and severity, precipitating risk factors, and associated [[comorbid]] conditions. Complete history will help determine the correct complication diagnosis, and helps in determining the prognosis as well. Specific histories about the symptoms (duration, onset, progression), associated symptoms, and [[drug]] usage have to be obtained. Specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are outlined below:<ref name="pmid11085805">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tench CM, McCurdie I, White PD, D'Cruz DP |title=The prevalence and associations of fatigue in systemic lupus erythematosus |journal=Rheumatology (Oxford) |volume=39 |issue=11 |pages=1249–54 |date=November 2000 |pmid=11085805 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid9598886" /><ref name="pmid14530779" /><ref name="pmid20572299" /><ref name="pmid7779127">{{cite journal |vauthors=McKinley PS, Ouellette SC, Winkel GH |title=The contributions of disease activity, sleep patterns, and depression to fatigue in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Overview

As a manifestation of SLE, Lupus nephritis shares most of the symptoms with SLE. A positive history of familial lupus, skin rashes (especially photosensitive skin rashes), arthritis, and fatigue may be suggestive of systemic lupus erythematosus. The most common symptoms of SLE include constitutional symptoms like fatigue, fever, myalgia, and weight changes. The organ-specific symptom mostly occur with disease progression. SLE may show a variety of symptoms in different organs depending on its complications. eg.g Foamy urine.

History

Obtaining the history is one of the most important aspects in making a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. It provides insight into disease course and severity, precipitating risk factors, and associated comorbid conditions. Complete history will help determine the correct complication diagnosis, and helps in determining the prognosis as well. Specific histories about the symptoms (duration, onset, progression), associated symptoms, and drug usage have to be obtained. Specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are outlined below:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Common Symptoms

The early manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus include common constitutional symptoms that may be seen in many other diseases as well:
