A study of blood tests in young people with lupus
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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 a protein called CXCL5 in the blood of people with lupus (SLE) to see if it relates to how active their disease is. It will help researchers understand more about lupus and possibly find new ways to track or treat it.
This study looks at a simple blood test (called the Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index) to see if it can help doctors understand how active lupus is in your body. It includes people with lupus, especially those with kidney involvement, to find better ways to track the disease.
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 compares blood test results between people with lupus and healthy volunteers. It aims to find blood markers that may help understand lupus better.
This study follows children and young adults newly diagnosed with certain types of arthritis or related conditions to learn more about their health over time. It may help doctors better understand how these diseases progress and how treatments work.
This trial looks at a new blood test that may help doctors know if lupus is affecting your kidneys. It could make it easier to catch kidney problems early and monitor how well treatment is working.
