    Renal function impairment in lepromatous leprosy improves after erythema nodosum leprosum reactions subside. However, complications like amyloidosis can hinder recovery, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Leprosy, particularly lepromatous leprosy, can affect renal function.
    • Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is a common inflammatory complication of leprosy.
    • Understanding renal involvement during ENL is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sequential renal function changes in lepromatous leprosy patients during and after erythema nodosum leprosum.
    • To identify factors influencing renal function recovery post-reaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of eight lepromatous leprosy patients.
    • Sequential monitoring of renal function parameters.
    • Assessment during active ENL and quiescent phases.

    Main Results:

    • Renal function was impaired during ENL reactions.
    • Renal function generally improved as ENL subsided.
    • Persistent impairment was noted in cases with complications such as amyloidosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal function in lepromatous leprosy is dynamic and affected by ENL.
    • Prompt management of ENL may aid renal recovery.
    • Amyloidosis and other complications pose significant risks to renal health in leprosy patients.
