Lupus Mesenteric Vasculitis in a Patient Under Maintenance Dialysis

A 13-year-old girl received a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at the age of 6 years with initial presentations of thrombocytopenia, anemia, and nephritis. She received unsuccessful pulse cyclophosphamide therapy. Dialysis was introduced at 11 years of age, and she was maintained on azathioprine (2 mg/kg/day) and prednisolone (0.4 mg/kg on alternate days).
