Autoimmune disease and pregnancy

EurekAlert!
For many aspiring mothers with autoimmune disease, pregnancy can be daunting and full of unknowns. In some cases, those suffering from specific autoimmune conditions have chosen to forego pregnancy altogether due to concerns about their disease treatments and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

EurekAlert!
Somewhere between 24 and 50 million Americans have an autoimmune disease, a condition in which the immune system attacks our own tissues. As many as 4 out of 5 of those people are women.

Urine biomarkers ( IL-16, CD163,CD206), parallel internal activity in lupus nephritis and and its decline at 3 months , best predict 1 year response .
Future is great for lupus nephritis , cant wait to start using them.
Great work @andreafava

Proteinuria doesn’t correlate with internal activity in lupus nephritis , we really need better biomarkers.

Dr. Gabalawy: "How do you know what disease patients will develop in this preclinical autoimmunity state?"
@drdavidkarp "it's like when weeds pop up in a garden, it's random ...if ACPA Ab pops up, you might have RA, if it's dsDNA, maybe lupus." #RNL2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/JmDtaTt3sU

Great talk -this is a summary slide on lupus nephritis and biomarkers to predict renal survival. When you get a chance, you have to watch @andreafava on #RNL2024 https://t.co/3PgFWCU9n6 @RheumNow https://t.co/AZNq9XrTMx

Low urine IL-16 at 12 months predicted kidney survival much better than proteinuria. Check out AUCs in the this first slide. Dr. @andreafava reviews this potential biomarker. Question if this could also be a possible target for treatment as well?

Low urinary IL16 levels at 12 months predicts kidney suvial at 3 years better than proteinuria - @Andreafava @rheumnow #RNL2024 https://t.co/AEaL8n2nv8

@andreafava @jhrheumatology
Urinary biomarkers (CD163, IL-16) at 3 months predict the 1 year response better than UPCR
- At 6 & 12 mos predicts renal survival at 3 yrs
- At 12 mos: IL-16 92% accurate, sens 97%, Spec 80% vs UPCR 72% accurate, 75% sens, spec 67%

1/3 of lupus nephritis patient classified as "complete responders" continued to accrue progressive renal damage despite resolution of proteinuria over 1 year.

Myeloid and neutrophil degranulation is involved in disease activation of lupus nephritis. IL16 and CD163 are urinary biomarkers correlating with histologic disease activity “- Dr. @andreafava #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/YffIRy8B9u
