Blood and urine markers in active lupus kidney disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at blood and urine markers that may show how active lupus kidney disease is and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better monitor people with active lupus-related kidney inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a kidney condition from lupus that was confirmed by biopsy as proliferative or membranous lupus nephritis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking for biomarkers (clues in your blood, urine, or tissue) that can help predict how well lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) responds to treatment. It focuses on people who have active kidney disease and are either starting treatment or have been on a stable treatment for at least a month.
This study looks at whether a specific antibody (anti-alpha-actinin) in the blood is linked to active lupus kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand and monitor kidney problems in people with lupus.
This study looks at two simple blood tests to see if they can help doctors understand and predict how lupus-related kidney disease (lupus nephritis) is progressing. The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment decisions for people with this condition.
This study aims to find better ways to detect kidney problems in people with lupus by testing blood and urine samples. If you have lupus, you may help researchers improve how kidney disease is diagnosed and monitored.
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow in people with lupus kidney disease. The goal is to see if this simple test can tell how active the disease is, which might help doctors adjust treatment without needing frequent biopsies.
This study looks at a simple blood test (called the Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index) to see if it can help doctors understand how active lupus is in your body. It includes people with lupus, especially those with kidney involvement, to find better ways to track the disease.
