Hi, I m a 12 year old girl with SLE and lupus nephritis. I was in the hospital in November for 2 weeks. I was supposed to be in for a 2 day biopsy but the results didn t come back good. I am a class 4 and 5. I did chemo once a month for 5 months and then I was switched over to cell cept. I now see my nephrologist every 3 months but lately I ve been experiencing the same pain I had in November. I m nervous. Help
Abdominal pain in lupus could be due to deposits, bowel supplying vessel ischemia or due to a condition called Renal vein thrombosis. But before searching for these things always rule out few common conditions like ulcer of stomach etc. If your nephrologist is happy with respect to response to medications, nothing to worry. Please don't use terms like chemo. Because it is not a cancer, and you will do well in future provided you respect your disease and sincere in treatment. Hope I cleared your doubts and feel free to ask questions if you have. All the best.
