Brief summary
The study explores the role of the colour Doppler scanning of the renal arteries and its relation to the degree of disease affection in lupus nephritis
Detailed description
we have recruited patients into 3 groups The first group is patients with lupus nephritis The second groups is patients with systemic lupus erythromatosus without nephritis The third groups is normal healthy controls we explored the association of colour Doppler and the renal resistive index with the degree of the renal affection in lupus nephritis
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTcolour doppler of the renal artery and measurement of resistive index
using colour doppler to asses vascular resistance and resistive index
