Disease Modification in Lupus and Lupus Nephritis: Modifying the Natural Course of the Disease Save
A definition for disease modification in lupus and lupus nephritis has recently been proposed in a paper by van Vollenhoven et al.1
In this infographic and interactive activity, learn about the outcomes that should be assessed to prevent organ damage, and potential detours to be aware of along a patient’s journey to disease modification.

Learn About Scientific Advances in Monitoring for Renal Damage Accrual in Lupus Nephritis
Complete renal response is a key outcome to monitor renal damage accrual in lupus nephritis,1 and is usually defined as proteinuria <0.5 g/24 hours.2 However, patients who have achieved this proteinuria goal often still have renal disease activity.2-4
This video and podcast presented by Dr. Michelle Petri, Professor of Medicine at the Hopkins Lupus Center, describes how estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope may be a valid surrogate endpoint for monitoring renal damage accrual in lupus nephritis.5
