Mashup Score: 0Worse long-term renal outcome of lupus nephritis patients of African descent living in Europe - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Prognosis of lupus nephritis (LN) among patients of African descent living in Europe has been understudied. Methods In a retrospective study performed in two European university hospitals, we compared the prognosis of LN in patients of African descent or Caucasians. Remission was defined as a urine protein to creatinine (uP/C) ratio<0.5 g/g and a serum creatinine value<120% of...

Mashup Score: 0Urinary HER2, TWEAK and VCAM-1 levels are associated with new-onset proteinuria in paediatric lupus nephritis - 2 year(s) ago
Objective Lupus nephritis is a key driver of morbidity and mortality in SLE. Detecting active nephritis on a background of pre-existing renal damage is difficult, leading to potential undertreatment and accumulating injury. An unmet need is a biomarker that distinguishes active lupus nephritis, particularly important in paediatrics where minimising invasive procedures is desirable. Methods This…

Objective Renal injury is common in SLE. Immune complex deposition plays an important role in the development of lupus nephritis (LN), while little is known about glomerular IgG4 deposition in patients with LN. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and renal outcome of patients with LN with glomerular IgG4 deposition. Methods This is a single-centre retrospective study enrolling 89…

David Jayne and colleagues conducted a phase 2 trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the type I interferon receptor inhibitor anifrolumab in patients with active lupus nephritis. 147 patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive 300 mg intravenous anifrolumab (the basic regimen), an intensified anifrolumab regimen consisting of three 900 mg doses followed by 300 mg thereafter, or…
