Abstract
The following retrospective series of cases aims to describe the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients at the Central Military Hospital of Bogotá with proliferative lupus nephritis. It is frequently found at the time of diagnosis proteinuria, 37% of them in nephrotic range, and alterations in uroanalysis. We describe the results of the main hematological and immunological variables. We did not find differences between the types of induction nor in the outcomes as: percentage of remission, decrease of creatinine and proteinuria reduction.References
