This study looks at how lupus kidney disease activity relates to bone mineral density. It may help understand if bone loss is linked to kidney inflammation in lupus.
This study looks for early signs of heart and blood vessel damage in teenagers with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a condition where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The research helps doctors understand and possibly prevent heart problems later in life for young people with lupus.
This study looks at blood test results in children and teenagers with lupus to see if they relate to how active the disease is or if it has caused long-term damage. It may help doctors better understand the disease.
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 brain and behavior problems in children with Lupus (SLE). It aims to understand how often these problems happen and what they look like, so doctors can better care for children with SLE.
This study looks at early heart function problems in children with lupus to find those at risk for severe disease. It may help doctors identify and treat severe lupus sooner.
