#ACR21 #Abstr0454 Mortality rate in #lupus nephritis ⬇️by 26% from 1999-2019👏. BUT, racial and residence disparities were concerning; worse in Black, Hispanic, Asian, AI/AN vs White and in large central and medium metro. Residential matters! @RheumNow https://t.co/33vN39acuL https://t.co/XMwN2hXJn7

Race/ethnicity and residence were independent risk factors for LN mortality which was higher in: ➡️Black patients ➡️Those living in central metro areas #ACR21 Abst#0454 @RheumNow

How about lipoprotein a as a potential biomarker for poor renal outcomes in #lupus? Results of this study by Dr @CaoilfhionnMD and her group show that ⬆Lp(a) is strongly associated w/ proteinuria, ⬇ eGFR and ⬆PGA. Interesting🤓 @RheumNow #ACR21 abs0327 https://t.co/MLgJ1tPJMp

Dr. Petri et al showed transition between lupus anticoagulant (-) to (+), (+) to (-), and (+) or (-) to thrombosis could be estimated by multistate Markov model. #ACR21 Abst#0076 @RheumNow https://t.co/oIvbak4lV4

Don't wait! DR. Petri wants us to change paradigm of how we treat aggressive lupus nephritis: early, aggressive, and multimodal. Does not matter if you add on VCS or BLMB, just don't treat LN with MMF monotherapy. #ACR21 #GreatDebate @rheumnow https://t.co/ebSiic095h
