Abstract
Although systemic autoimmune diseases form a heterogeneous set of pathologies in terms of their manifestations and diagnosis, they share the idiopathic characteristic of a disorder in the immune system with the formation of specific antibodies. The kidneys are often affected by these diseases. From the anatomopathological point of view, these diseases cause different types of involvement, although in general they cause tissue damage in the kidneys that is fundamentally mediated by the deposition of immunocomplexes and inflammation, with the development of glomerulonephritis. A more detailed description of kidney involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, secondary amyloidosis, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome and IgG4 nephropathy is given below.
