Apologies slim- I used the wrong numbers. 445,000 is the SLE number and 50% of them will likely develop LN.

The link thesaud posted explains it:

"According to the Lupus Foundation of America, approximately 1.5 million Americans (mostly women) and about 5 million people worldwide have a form of lupus. Aurinia estimates that 445,000 people in the U.S. suffer from SLE. The disease can damage a range of tissues and organ systems, particularly the kidneys to become LN. LN affects up to half of SLE patients, and is a chronic, complex and often disabling disorder, which can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), dialysis, renal transplant, and death."
