Popis: Objectives To identify predictors of complete renal response (CRR) and renal flares in SLE patients with active proliferative LN. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study over 36 months including patients with biopsy-proven proliferative LN (class III/IV), from two European tertiary centres. CRR and renal flare were defined as proteinuria 1 g/day after CRR attainment, respectively. Demographic, clinical and analytic parameters were evaluated as early predictors of renal outcome, using survival analysis. Candidate variables were tested as predictors for CRR at time 0, 3 and 6 months after starting induction treatment. Potential predictors for renal flare were evaluated at time of reaching CRR. Variables with P Results We included 104 patients [81.7% female, mean (s.d.) age at baseline 32.0 (13.3) years]. Over follow-up, 91.7% reached CRR, within a median time of 6.0 months. Proteinuria Conclusion In patients with SLE and proliferative LN, factors assessed at baseline and 3 months from starting induction treatment can predict CRR and renal flares once CRR is achieved.
