Early Detection of Lupus Nephritis with Dr. Ashira Blazer | UNMASKED: Life with Autoimmune | Ep. 004
*Could lupus be affecting your kidneys before you even notice symptoms?* In episode four of Unmasked: Life with Autoimmune, I sit down with lupus expert *Dr. Ashira Blazer* to discuss an important topic that every lupus patient should understand: *lupus nephritis (lupus kidney disease).* As someone living with lupus for more than a decade, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to manage symptoms, appointments, lab work, and the uncertainty that comes with this disease. One thing many patients don't realize is that lupus can affect the kidneys even when you feel relatively well. Dr. Blazer breaks down: * What lupus nephritis is and why it matters * Who is most at risk * Symptoms patients should watch for * The tests used to monitor kidney health * Why early detection can make a difference * How to advocate for yourself and have better conversations with your healthcare team Whether you're newly diagnosed, a veteran Lupus Warrior, a caretaker or a friend, this conversation offers practical information to help you stay informed and proactive about Lupus health. If this episode helps you, please share it with another lupus warrior who may need this information.
