Article Synopsis
- Lupus nephritis is an immune-mediated kidney disease related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), showing diverse effects across different populations, particularly in the Colombian Caribbean.
- In a study of 401 SLE patients, most were women with a median age of 42, 90% had proliferative kidney lesions, and over half did not respond to treatment, highlighting challenges in management.
- Key factors linked to poor outcomes included high initial proteinuria levels and elevated serum creatinine, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies to enhance patient care and survival.
