A Case of Seven-Year-Old Boy with Lupus Nephritis

Manolya Kara, Nur Canpolat, Salim Çalışkan, Lale Sever, Özgür Kasapçopur

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder which is less often observed in children than adults. It is uncommon in children younger than ten years, especially in boys. In all age groups, nearly 15% of all cases have onset of disease over 16 years of age. Lupus nephritis is one of the most serious organ involvements of the disease and its symptoms are generally related to hypertension, proteinuria, and renal failure. But it may be also asymptomatic. Renal disease occurs in 90% of patients in the course of the disease. During its course serious complications as thrombotic microangiopathy. may develop. Recent reports suggest that renal involvement is more frequent in children than in adults. Childhood-onset lupus nephritis can be more severe than the late-onset disease. We present a 7-year-old boy with lupus nephritis who was previously misdiagnosed as Henoch - Schönlein Purpura (HSP).

Yedi Yaşında Lupus Nefriti Tanılı Çocuk Vaka

Manolya Kara, Nur Canpolat, Salim Çalışkan, Lale Sever, Özgür Kasapçopur

Sistemik lupus eritematozus (SLE) çocuklarda erişkinlerden daha ender gözlenen otoimmün bir hastalıktır. Hastalık 10 yaşın altındaki çocuklarda özellikle erkeklerde oldukça enderdir. Tüm yaş grupları içinde 16 yaşın üzerinde hastalığın gözükme sıklığı %15 civarındadır. Lupus nefriti, hastalığın en ciddi organ tutulumundan biridir. Vakaların yaklaşık %90’ında böbrek tutulumu gözlenmektedir. Lupus nefriti hipertansiyon, proteinüri ve böbrek yetmezliği ile prezente olabileceği gibi asemptomatik de seyredebilir. Seyri sırasında trombotik mikroanjiyopati gibi ağır komplikasyonlar gelişebilir. Literatürdeki son yayınlara göre böbrek tutulumu çocuklarda daha sık gözlenmektedir. Çocuklarda gelişen lupus nefriti daha ağır seyredebilmektedir. Burada, öncesinde yanlışlıkla Henoch Schöenlein Purpura tanısı alan 7 yaşında lupus nefriti vakası sunulmuştur.
