Blood test for kidney inflammation in lupus
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

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 at two simple blood tests to see if they can help doctors understand and predict how lupus-related kidney disease (lupus nephritis) is progressing. The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment decisions for people with this condition.
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 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 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.
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.
