Gut Bacteria and Lupus Kidney Disease
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria differ in people with lupus nephritis compared to healthy adults. It aims to understand if gut health is linked to kidney inflammation, which could help find better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether eating a Mediterranean diet (lots of vegetables, fish, and olive oil) can help children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, an autoimmune disease) by improving their gut bacteria and overall health. Researchers will compare children with SLE who follow this diet with healthy household members.
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 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 tiny structures made by white blood cells, called neutrophil extracellular traps, in people with lupus kidney disease. It aims to understand their role and may lead to better treatments.
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.
