Primary Non-adherence in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Up to 50% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are nonadherent to their medications, which increases the risk of renal failure and death…Abstract Number: 1269 • ACR Convergence 2020
Evaluation of a Patient-reported Frailty Tool in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Frailty has been associated with increased disability and mortality in SLE. To our knowledge, no patient-reported frailty tool has been evaluated alongside a standard…Abstract Number: 1285 • ACR Convergence 2020
Association of Frailty with Disability Is Not Attenuated by Lean Body Mass in Women with SLE
Background/Purpose: Frailty has been associated with disability and mortality in SLE. Whether this association is confounded by sarcopenia, a degenerative loss of muscle mass and…Abstract Number: 1301 • ACR Convergence 2020
Characterizing How SLE Patients Access Health Information Pre and During COVID-19
Background/Purpose: The spread of misinformation related to COVID-19 has been especially acute for SLE patients as unsubstantiated claims regarding the efficacy of antimalarials for COVID-19…Abstract Number: 1511 • ACR Convergence 2020
Clinical Features and Select Dysregulated Immune Parameters Distinguish Blood Relatives Who Remain Clinically Stable or Progress to Incomplete Lupus or Classified SLE in the Lupus Autoimmunity in Relatives (LAUREL) Follow-up Cohort
Background/Purpose: Identifying populations at risk of SLE is essential to curtail inflammatory damage and identify individuals for prevention trials. Unaffected blood relatives (BRs) of lupus…Abstract Number: 1670 • ACR Convergence 2020
Low Copy Number of Long C4 Genes Is a Genetic Risk Factor for Childhood Onset SLE (cSLE) but Is Associated with Higher Age of Disease Onset
Background/Purpose: Hypocomplementemia is a marked feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which may be a result of consumption initiated by immune complexes between self-nuclear antigens…Abstract Number: 1770 • ACR Convergence 2020
Lupus Low Disease Activity State Protects Against Pre-Term Birth
Background/Purpose: Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) (Ann Rheum Dis. 2016;75:1615–21.) combine both low disease activity (SLEDAI score of ≤4, PGA >=1 no flare, no…Abstract Number: 1799 • ACR Convergence 2020
High Fat-Diet as a Catalyst to Lupus Development and Autoimmunity in MRL/lpr Mice
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with features of autoantibodies, skin rash, kidney and other multiple organ involvement. Evidence shows that obesity…Abstract Number: 1817 • ACR Convergence 2020
Changes in Macular Capillary Network Measured with Optical Coherence Tomography-angiography in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Eye involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) occurs in approximately one-third of patients, usually related to disease activity. An early diagnosis and treatment could…Abstract Number: 1833 • ACR Convergence 2020
Hydroxychloroquine and Vitamin D Both Reduce Proteinuria in SLE
Background/Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and vitamin D are both immunomodulators in SLE, but work through different mechanisms. Hydroxychloroquine has been proven to triple renal response to…Abstract Number: 1982 • ACR Convergence 2020
Quality of Life of Patients with Facial Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune skin disease that may occur with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Active CLE lesions present with…Abstract Number: 0029 • ACR Convergence 2020
Urine Proteomic Classifiers Predict Renal Histological Activity and Chronicity Indices and May Predict Treatment Response in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Current management of lupus nephritis (LN) is guided by histopathological features on kidney biopsy and measurement of proteinuria. Urine proteomics is a non-invasive source…Abstract Number: 0254 • ACR Convergence 2020
LLDAS (Low Lupus Disease Activity State) and Remission Prevent Damage Accrual in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients in a Primarily Mestizo Cohort
Background/Purpose: LLDAS and remission have been proposed as treatment goals for SLE patients. However, their impact on damage prevention in patients from Latin America has…Abstract Number: 0271 • ACR Convergence 2020
External Validation of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Frailty Index (SLICC-FI) as a Predictor of Mortality and Organ Damage Accrual in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Using data from the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) inception cohort, a frailty index (FI) was recently developed as a measure of susceptibility…Abstract Number: 0289 • ACR Convergence 2020
Endogenous Interferon-β and Low IL-4R on Transitional B Cells Promotes Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: We previously showed that B-cell endogenous interferon-beta (IFNβ) at the transitional (Tr) stage correlates with development of anti-Smith (anti-Sm) and renal disease as well…
