Gut bacteria in lupus kidney disease
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) and how it may relate to lupus nephritis. It aims to understand if differences in gut bacteria could help manage the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how following a Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, might affect the gut bacteria in children with lupus. Families may join together to learn more about diet and lupus.
This study looks at tiny particles in urine to better understand and monitor lupus-related kidney problems. It may help find better ways to track the disease without invasive biopsies.
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 study looks at whether certain antibodies (proteins in your blood that fight infection but can sometimes attack your own body) are linked to nerve damage in people with lupus and kidney disease. If you join, researchers will check your blood for these antibodies and see how they relate to your symptoms.
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.
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.
