Lupus Nephritis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2009
Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the common manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus. Kidney biopsy remains a mainstay of LN diagnosis, which is usually prompted by abnormal urinary sediment, proteinuria, or elevated creatinine. New International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society classification of LN tends to remove some of the ...

Chemokines in lupus nephritis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008
Lupus nephritis is a common solid organ manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The disease is tightly linked to the production of autoantibodies and circulating immune complexes, i.e. immune complex glomerulonephritis. In this process chemokines mediate multiple biological effects, e.g. orchestrating proinflammatory microenvironments, the

Lupus nephritis in children

Lupus, 2005
In systemic lupus erythematosus renal involvement is more frequent in children than in adults. Overall, 60-80% of children with systemic lupus erythematosus have urinary or renal function abnormalities early in the disease course. In 90% of patients, renal disease occurs within two years from disease onset.

Histopathology of Lupus Nephritis

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2010
The spectrum of morphologic changes in lupus nephritis, either microscopic, ultrastructural, or immunohistological, closely reflects the great variety of immune complexes that are produced in the course of the disease. Every tissue component of the kidney can be affected, but glomeruli are the target structure in most patients.

Immunopathology of lupus nephritis

Seminars in Immunopathology, 2014
When patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) present with urinary abnormalities, a renal biopsy is usually needed to rule out or confirm lupus nephritis. Renal biopsy is also needed to define the type of renal manifestation as different entities are associated with different outcomes; hence, renal biopsy results shape lupus management. But why

Lupus Nephritis

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1999
Effective treatment of lupus nephritis requires an understanding of disease pathogenesis, risk stratification by World Health Organization (WHO) classification and therapeutic options. Mesangial lupus nephropathy is generally associated with an excellent prognosis, whereas proliferative lupus nephropathy, especially the diffuse variant, is often ...

Lupus nephritis

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1995
Lupus nephritis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality arising from systemic lupus erythematosus. The pathology seen on renal biopsy and clinical features of renal involvement remain major prognostic factors and therapeutic guides. Serologic markers also correlate with disease activity, but more significantly, the identification of cationic and ...

Biomarkers in lupus nephritis

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, 2015
AbstractLupus nephritis (LN) has significant impact on the outcome of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the absence of any new breakthrough for management ofLNover the last few years, using existing treatment modalities in a more effective manner is the mainstay of improving outcomes. For effectively using the drugs, disease activity

Pregnancy in lupus nephritis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2002
Fetal and maternal outcomes of 70 pregnancies in 48 women with lupus nephritis were retrospectively analyzed.In 13 women, lupus nephritis developed during pregnancy (group A). In 38 patients with known lupus nephritis (including 3 patients in group A who had another pregnancy), 57 pregnancies occurred.

Neutrophils in lupus nephritis

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2019
Purpose of review Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorgan autoimmune disease characterized by IgG-autoantibodies to nuclear antigens that can deposit in the kidney and trigger lupus nephritis. Neutrophils accumulate in the kidneys of patients with proliferative LUPUS NEPHRITIS and neutrophil products and a subset of ...
