Dr @ZahiTouma discusses the attribution rules for the NPSLE syndromes
Attribute to #SLE if
- onset of NP is near the SLE dx
- absence of concurrent nonSLE factors
- ⬇️ frequency of NP events in the gen pop'n
- diagnostic tools favor NPSLE

Very informative slide describing the 2 NPSLE pathogenetic pathways & their differences in mediators, mechanisms and NP events.

A retrospective cohort study presented at #ACR24 explores the benefits of GLP-1Ras in reducing the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for patients with lupus nephritis. Drawing on data from the TrinetX global research database, the study examines how GLP-1Ras may reduce ESRD progression in a population where 10-20% progress to ESRD within five years, even with immunosuppressive therapies.

Study on #SLE and ESRD using machine learning:
Developed model to identify patients with SLE and ESRD
Used NIH 'All of Us' dataset
XGBoost outperformed Random Forest
SDOH data improved model precision #ACR24 @rheumnow #MachineLearning abst#1876 https://t.co/PQ7u4Pj5OH

Disease specific chatbots might be primetime - investigators from NYC made the a #LupusCoach chatbot - patients indicated high levels of satisfaction and were excited about it.

Abstract 1873: The impact of urbanization on lupus nephritis mortality is complex.
Race/ethnicity + income modify the effects
- Income ≥$50k + living in suburbs associated with lower odds of mortality due to LN in racial/ethnic minorities

Important study in SLE: out of 590 pts with pericarditis, 20% had recurrence w/in 1 year
Higher in early dx, younger pts, higher dx activity, & pred exposure
Is prednisone risk confounding by indication? Or causative?

Depressing finding re:glucocorticoid discontinuation in SLE
No improvement over decades in rate of GC discontinuation; if anything, we start more GC than ever
@AliDuarteMD help me out here; why haven't we made more progress?

Why is there female predominance in #SLE - the extra X chromosome in females (XX) may not be inactivated properly- usually maintained by the long non-coding RNA #Xist

Updated ACR guidelines on management of lupus nephritis (LN). Consider early biopsy. Focus on triple therapy in LN. From the panel discussion, Tacrolimus can be an alternative to CNI (Voclosporin) where there is no access to this. Manage comorbidities such as CV risk, bone… https://t.co/4R02YnRXDP https://t.co/3J7YcF5ucQ

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.

The overview for #lupus nephritis tx.
Triple therapy is preferred as first line due to:
1. RCTs (BLISS-LN & AURORA 1) showing improved outcomes w/ triple txs
2. Nephron loss happens with ongoing LN - time is kidney!
