Diagnostic Performances of Vascular Biomarkers Soluble Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase (sFlt-1) and Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) in Scleroderma Renal Crisis: A Case Control Study
Background/Purpose: Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) is a major vascular complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), associated with high morbidity and mortality. Few biomarkers are available to predict…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: 0708 • ACR Convergence 2024
Outcomes of Intermittent Intravenous Steroid Use During Infusion Therapy in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Use of high dose corticosteroids in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is considered a significant risk factor for development of scleroderma renal crisis (SRC). Intravenous (IV)…Abstract Number: 1683 • ACR Convergence 2024
68Ga-FAPI PET/CT Imaging for Assessing Renal Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of using fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET imaging as a molecular tracer and non-invasive tool for assessing renal tubulointerstitial…Abstract Number: 0719 • ACR Convergence 2024
Risk of Vertebral Fracture in Individuals with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis and End-Stage Renal Disease
Background/Purpose: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) secondary to vasculitis is linked to a higher risk of vertebral fractures compared to other causes of ESRD. It remains…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: 0725 • ACR Convergence 2024
Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Could Assess Cross-sectional Vasculitis Activity by Reflecting Renal Involvement in Patients with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis
