ABSTRACT=<p>Lupus nephritis (LN) in Children is caused by Kidney involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic, multi-systemic, paroxysmal autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of autoantibodies. Hypercalcemia is a common manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism and other malignant tumors. LN or SLE with hypercalcemia is rare. We report a case of LN with hypercalcemia and review the literature. It suggests that the pathogenesis of SLE complicated with hypercalcemia complicates the response of drug therapy.</p>
