The condition is often associated with hemolytic anemia , in which red blood cell s RBCs are destroyed, thereby increasing levels of free blood plasma plasma hemoglobin. The excess hemoglobin is filtered by the kidney s, which release it into the urine, giving urine a red color.

Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis that is the most serious form of renal lesions in SLE and is also the most common, occurring in 35 to 60 of patients. Most of the glomeruli show endothelial and mesangial cell growth proliferation affecting the entire glomerulus , leading to diffuse hypercellularity of the glomeruli , producing in some cases epithelial glomerular crescents crescents that fill Bowman s space . When extensive, immune complexes create an overall thickening of the capillary wall , resembling rigid wire loops on routine light microscopy . Electron microscopy reveals electron dense subendothelial immune complexes between endothelium and basement membrane . Immune complexes can be visualized by staining with fluorescent antibodies directed against immunoglobulins or Complement system complement , resulting in a granular fluorescent staining pattern. In due course, glomerular injury gives rise to scarring glomerulosclerosis . Most of these patients have hematuria with moderate to severe proteinuria , hypertension , and renal insufficiency . ref name isbn0 8089 2366 8 cite book author Robbins, Stanley L.

It should be distinguished from renovascular hypertension I15.0 , which is a form of secondary hypertension .

Consequent ischemia will produce tubular atrophy , interstitial fibrosis , glomerular alterations smaller glomeruli with different degrees of hyalinization from mild to sclerosis of glomeruli and periglomerular fibrosis. In advanced stages, renal failure will occur. Functional nephrons have dilated tubules, often with hyaline urinary casts casts in the lumens.
