Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune systemic disease, particularly affecting women of reproductive age group. Male lupus and associated nephropathy is very uncommon. Elderly male presenting with lupus nephropathy is still a rare finding in literature. We report a case of lupus nephropathy in a 67-year-old male presenting with heavy proteinuria. We also conclude that age and sex of a patient is no bar for lupus, and every physician must consider autoimmune disease even in elderly male patients.
