Studying lupus kidney disease using urine particles
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Adults aged 18 or older
- Includes four groups: people with lupus and kidney issues, people with lupus but no kidney issues, healthy people, and people getting a kidney biopsy
- Must be able and willing to give informed consent
- Should not have other serious health problems that could affect the results

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 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.
This study looks at whether a blood test for a specific antibody can help doctors understand how active lupus kidney disease is. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with lupus nephritis.
This study tests whether lupus patients can use a home urine test to monitor their kidney health, which could help catch kidney problems early. It is for patients who have lupus and may have had kidney involvement before, or are at risk of developing it.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand and track kidney problems that occur in people with lupus. The goal is to see if these markers can predict how the disease will progress, which could help guide treatment.
