Tubulointerstitial Inflammation Predicts Tubular Atrophy, Fibrosis, and Renal Function Loss in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Current classification criteria of lupus nephritis (LN) emphasize glomerular pathology, however tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis (TAIF) are better predictors of poor…Abstract Number: 1536 • ACR Convergence 2024
Prescription Rates of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers in Lupus Nephritis: A Comparative Study Across Specialties
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis is a well-known and severe complication in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Angiotensin-converting…Abstract Number: 1556 • ACR Convergence 2024
Efficacy and Safety of Anifrolumab Across Organ Domains of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organ systems. Anifrolumab is a monoclonal antibody that antagonizes type I interferon receptors,…Abstract Number: 1642 • ACR Convergence 2024
A Urinary Biomarker Panel to Predict the Probability of Histologically Active Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Achieving an NIH Activity Index of < 2 upon treatment is associated with less LN flare and thus better long-term kidney survival. Here, we…Abstract Number: 1685 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Renal Activity Index for Lupus (RAIL) Identifies Active Renal Disease in SLE Patients and Its Longitudinal Score Associates with Achievement of Renal Responses in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Lupus Nephritis (LN) confers a poor prognosis, and there is a lack of effective non-invasive tests to assess disease activity and treatment response. We…Abstract Number: 1787 • ACR Convergence 2024
Linking Transcriptomic Profiles of Kidney and Blood Samples Provides Insight into Identification of Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Current clinical methods to diagnose and evaluate the severity of lupus nephritis (LN) rely on identification of kidney dysfunction followed by invasive kidney biopsies.…Abstract Number: 1798 • ACR Convergence 2024
CXCL6 Synthesized by Proximal Tubule Cells May Promote Fibrosis in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Detection of urinary CXCL6, a member of the IL-8 chemokine family, has been linked to CKD and is a proposed marker of chronic damage…Abstract Number: 1808 • ACR Convergence 2024
Not Only Type-I Interferon Regulated Genes Are Differentially Expressed in Circulating Monocytes from Active Lupus Nephritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Monocytes play an important role in organ damage, such as in Lupus Nephritis (LN). Although monocytes are typically considered inflammatory cells, evidence shows they…Abstract Number: 1860 • ACR Convergence 2024
Targeting Th1 Effector Cytokines, TNF-α and IFN-γ, Attenuates Experimental Autoimmune Myeloperoxidase ANCA Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Anti-cytokine monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies have shown efficacy in numerous autoimmune diseases but have yet to succeed in myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis…Abstract Number: 2381 • ACR Convergence 2024
Clinical Characteristics, Readmission Rates, and Outcomes in Lupus Patients with and Without Nephritic Involvement: Analysis from a National Database
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that occurs in 50 percent of patients. LN serves as an important predictor…Abstract Number: 2387 • ACR Convergence 2024
Biomarkers of Lupus Nephritis Are Less Predictive in APOL1 High Risk Genotype Lupus
Background/Purpose: Compared to Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) low risk genotype (LRG) patients, APOL1 (HRG) has been shown to increase the risk of chronic kidney disease in…Abstract Number: 2498 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Methylome Profile of B-cells as a Biomarker of Nephritis in IgA Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Nephritis is the main cause of long-term morbidity and mortality in patients with Immunoglobulin-A vasculitis (IgAV) [1, 2]. Unfortunately, sensitive, specific, and non-invasive biomarkers…Abstract Number: 0121 • ACR Convergence 2024
Intra-renal Involvement in Primary Antiphospholipid Antibodies Syndrome: Data from Two Italian Centers
Background/Purpose: Antiphospholipid antibodies nephropathy (aPL-N) is defined by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) early lesions and late lesions such fibro-intimal hyperplasia with luminal obliteration/organized thrombi, fibrous arterial/arteriolar…Abstract Number: 2505 • ACR Convergence 2024
C5 Signaling Pathway Genes as Key Drivers of the Pathogenesis of IgA Vasculitis?
Background/Purpose: Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) is an inflammatory disease caused by the accumulation of immune complexes of IgA in the walls of small blood vessels…
