Apoptosis is a mechanism of cellular death involved in the deletion of cells in hyperplasic processes which has been observed in proliferative glomerulonephritis. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are known to have defective apoptosis but there is scarce information about apoptosis in the renal lesions of this disease. The present studies were done to evaluate apoptosis in relation to the intensity of proliferation in several glomerulonephritis and the possible association between this relationship and the chronic histologic changes in lupus nephritis.
