Investigating Urine S100A4 and Podocyte Proteins As Biomarkers of Lupus Nephritis Activity
Background/Purpose: We lack accurate clinical tools to identify the degree of active renal inflammation in childhood-onset SLE (cSLE). In this study, we investigated urine S100A4…Abstract Number: 93 • 2017 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
Corticosteroid Regimen Use in the Pilot Study of Consensus Treatment Plans for Induction Therapy in Childhood Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Comparative data in the pediatric lupus nephritis (LN) population are lacking. To reduce treatment variability and facilitate comparative effectiveness studies, the Childhood Arthritis and…Abstract Number: 1380 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Multicenter Prospective Study on the Role of Urinary HER2 As a Lupus Nephritis Biomarker
Background/Purpose: HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) is dramatically overexpressed in the glomeruli and in the tubular compartment of patients with lupus nephritis, but…Abstract Number: 406 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Long Term Follow up of Inner City Pediatric Patients with Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: In children with SLE, 80% have renal involvement, which is a major prognostic factor for both morbidity and mortality. Few studies have focused on…Abstract Number: 2860 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mir-26a, Mir-30b and HER2: New Players On Lupus Nephritis Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: microRNAS (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs responsible for post-transcriptional gene silencing. These key regulatory molecules control the expression of multiple genes, so its dysregulation can…Abstract Number: 305 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinicopathologic Correlates for Activity and Damage of Lupus Nephritis in Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: High AI activity (AI), tubulointerstitial (TI), and chronicity index (CI) scores from renal biopsy may predict poor renal outcomes in lupus nephritis (LN)…Abstract Number: 308 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Next-Generation Sequencing of Urinary Microrna in Human Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common manifestation of SLE associated with significant morbidity and mortality. microRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate translation…
