Urvi Zala is a PGY-2 Internal Medicine resident at Loyola Medicine MacNeal Hospital, Illinois. She completed medical school in India, where an early clinical encounter with a delayed diagnosis of juvenile myositis sparked her interest in rheumatology. She plans to pursue a rheumatology fellowship and has research interests in lupus—particularly lupus nephritis—and vasculitis. Her work, including a network meta-analysis of calcineurin inhibitors in lupus nephritis, has been presented at ACR 2025.
In the U.S, lupus nephritis affects approximately 40–50% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, contributing significantly to the morbidity and mortality of the affected individuals. However, significant differences in clinical approaches to lupus nephritis management still persist.
