Description
Summary:	Until a few years ago, the pathological findings of the nephropathy of the disseminated lupus erithematosus had been interpreted and classified with any pronostic criteria. However many papers in the literature conclude the importance of the renal involucre based only in the clinical observation of the patients. In view to take a morphologic criteria about the lesions which can be observed in the disseminated lupus erithematosus we studied the biopsy renal specimens of 15 patients with this illness and correlate the findings with the clinical and laboratory state. The clinical evolution of our patients was highly variable according with the different type of the lupus nephropathy they suffered and because of this we consider of great pronostic importance a new classification of the renal lesions of the disseminated lupus erithematosus.
