The renal and bone profiles were investigated in Saudi systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and the results were compared with normal age and sex matched controls. The results showed that one or more renal profile abnormalities were present in 48.5% of the patients though the severity of renal involvement differed from one patient to another. The rest of the patients (i.e. 51.5%) had no renal involvement. One or more bone profile abnormalities were encountered in 33.3% of the SLE patients, majority of these patients had only a single abnormal test (24.2%). This case-control study shows the very heterogeneous presentation of SLE patient, in biochemical analyses, even among the individuals of same ethnic origin.
