VZL 2004, 73(1):1-5 
Kidney affection in connective tissue diseases (CTD) is one of the frequent organ lesions which are manifested in particular by proteinuria (P) and hematuria. When these symptoms occur, a kidney biopsy should be performed for a number of reasons. In a group of 50 patients with CTD, 27 of whom had systemic lupus erythematodes (SLE), P was found in 55% of them and P and microalbumineria (Ma) in 70.4% of them during the entrance examination. Within one year Ma appeared in nearly 100% of patients in the group with systemic lupus erythematodes (data concerning other types of connective tissue diseases cannot be reliably evaluated due to their low number).The...
