Abstract
The evidence for the important role of coagulation in the genesis and perpetuation of glomerular injury in diffuse proliferative lupus glome rulonephritis is reviewed. The importance of early detection is emphas ized, so that treatment can be started before irreversible glomerular injury has occurred. Urinalysis and simple tests of renal function are effective means of early detection. (C) 1995 by the National Kidney F oundation, Inc.
