The updated 2024 ACR Guideline for Dx and Tx of #lupus nephritis is here! Dr. Lisa Samaritano discusses the key recommendations 👇 For all pts: screen for LN, give HCQ and RAAS for pts with ⬆️ proteinuria GCs in pts w/ LN class III/IV &/or V. @Rheumnow #ACR24 @rheumarhyme https://t.co/wLVRGktR59

Recommend "Triple Therapy" = Glucocorticoids + two other agents Practically, that means MMF + belimumumab OR CNI for most pts For the CYC afficionados, the lower-dose EUROLUPUS protocol is preferred #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/0gRISXSw0c
