Serum Soluble Interleukin 2 Receptor Alpha vs Urinary Parameters as a monitoring tool of treatment response of Lupus Nephritis and their relation to Lupus Nephritis
Class on renal biopsy
Lupus Nephritis (LN) is one of the most common and serious manifestations in SLE patients that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Current conventional biomarkers for lupus nephritis like urine sediments, proteinuria, anti-dsDNA antibodies and C3 or C4 are sometimes mislead for prediction of treatment response. Recently IL-2 R alpha has shown to be a good marker to predict treatment response of lupus nephritis.
