Sev inflam rxn following liver bx 7/13. sle. kidney fx ok til 3 months later. 2 other labs w low kid fx. could this inflam have caused kid prob later?

Not related: This is unlikely related to the liver biopsy. I suspect that the inflammation was present all along and this just occurred and buiit up at the same time. Inflammation in lupus can be sustained long term and can come up periodically. Your rheumatologist can clarify this issue.
