Urine test to check lupus kidney activity
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple urine test to see if it can show how active lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) is. It might help doctors monitor the condition without needing repeated biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a simple, needle-free method to check for early heart and blood vessel disease in people with lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation from lupus). It uses a formula based on your blood sugar and fat levels to see if you are at higher risk, without needing special scans.
This study looks at how well the kidneys survive over time in people with lupus nephritis. It uses medical records from the past 2–5 years to understand what affects kidney health.
This study looks at two simple blood tests to predict whether people with lupus nephritis (a kidney disease caused by lupus) may need intensive care or have a higher risk of dying in the hospital. It aims to help doctors identify who needs closer monitoring.
This study looks at whether certain blood test ratios (albumin/globulin and platelet/albumin) can help identify or predict lupus nephritis, a kidney problem caused by lupus. It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney involvement in lupus patients.
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 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.
