Antibody test for lupus kidney disease activity
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- You have active kidney disease from lupus and need a kidney biopsy
- You have not started strong immunosuppressive drugs (like cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate, or calcineurin inhibitors) since your biopsy
- You do not have other kidney diseases, active infections, advanced chronic kidney disease, or are pregnant

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 aims to see if a blood test that measures a specific protein-related molecule can help doctors know how active your lupus is. If successful, this could lead to a simpler way to monitor the disease and adjust treatment.
This study looks at whether certain antibodies (proteins in your blood that fight infection but can sometimes attack your own body) are linked to nerve damage in people with lupus and kidney disease. If you join, researchers will check your blood for these antibodies and see how they relate to your symptoms.
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow in people with lupus kidney disease. The goal is to see if this simple test can tell how active the disease is, which might help doctors adjust treatment without needing frequent 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.
