Utility of Measurements of Urinary Soluble CD163 & MCP-1 in the Identification of Subtle Renal Flares in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Prior work has shown that urinary soluble CD163 (usCD163) displays excellent biomarker characteristics for detection of active renal vasculitis using samples from patients with…Abstract Number: 3181 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Utility of Urinalysis in Determining the Risk of Renal Relapse in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: The significance of persistent hematuria or proteinuria in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) who are in clinical remission is still unclear. This study…Abstract Number: 716 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Urinary Proteomics Identifies Three Novel Biomarkers for Lupus Nephritis Activity: Retinol Binding Protein, Alpha-1-Antichymotrysin and Haptoglobin

Biomarkers/Pathways Discovery of Lupus Nephritis By Urine Proteomics
Background/Purpose: We have previously validated several urine proteomic biomarkers for Lupus Nephritis (osteoprotegerin, MCP-1, VCAM-1 and urine TWEAK). In this discovery effort we looked for…Abstract Number: 755 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Validating the RAIL Algorithm in Adult Lupus Nephritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Lupus Nephritis (LN) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality among Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients. We have established the Renal Activity Index for Lupus…Abstract Number: 2070 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Urinary Biomarker Based “a-RAIL”� Study in Adults with Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: The present study was aimed at developing an adult Renal Activity In Lupus (A-RAIL) algorithm for Lupus Nephritis (LN) activity assessment using urinary biomarkers…Abstract Number: 2071 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Urinary Osteoprotegerin As Biomarker of Lupus Nephritis Disease Activity: Cross Sectional and Longitudinal Study
Background/Purpose: Urinary biomarkers may help in identification, treatment and assessment of response to therapy in patients with lupus nephritis (LN). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is produced by…Abstract Number: 2898 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Erythrocytes, Acanthocytes, and Proteins in Urine Reflect Lupus Nephritis Histology
Background/Purpose: Hematuria in lupus nephritis (LN) is secondary to the passage of red blood cells (RBCs) through glomerular abnormalities. Dysmorphic RBCs are associated with glomerulonephritis,…Abstract Number: 2603 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
