Recognizable Symptoms Of Lupus
Nephritis

People with lupus may experience nephritis, or inflammation of the kidneys, which makes it harder for them to filter waste and toxins from the blood. The Lupus Foundation of America suggests that nephritis may develop five years after first being diagnosed with the disease. Symptoms may include high blood pressure and swelling in the feet and lower legs. Blood in urine is also common and so is going to the bathroom more frequently at night. If urine is darker than normal, this could be a sign of nephritis.
