My mom is sick/has Lupus and she doesn't take care of herself! Why?

　　Lupus nephritis is the name given to the kidney disease caused by systemic lupus erythematosus. Lupus nephritis occurs when autoantibodies form or are deposited in the glomeruli, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Lupus nephritis is also known as lupus glomerulonephritis or lupus glomerular disease.

　　How Is Lupus Nephritis Diagnosed?
　　Lupus nephritis can be detected by finding abnormalities in the urine (such as an increase in the amount of protein) or the blood (such as a decrease in kidney function or elevatedcreatinine). If the disease is felt to be clinically significant, a renal biopsy (kidney biopsy) may be recommended.
