Lupus nephritis hospital care: predicting the need for ICU
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at blood tests from people hospitalized with active lupus nephritis to see if specific markers (called NLR and CRP/albumin ratio) can predict who might need intensive care or have worse outcomes. If you're going to be in the hospital for lupus nephritis, your participation could help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
