Childhood lupus nephritis
EPIDEMIOLOGY The prevalence of SLE is 1 case in 2000 in the general population. Because of the difficulty in diagnosis and a probable underestimation of SLE cases, researchers suggest that the prevalence may be closer to 1 case in 500-1000 population. Histologically, the kidneys are affected to some degree in most patients with SLE. Estimates of the prevalence of clinical renal involvement in p...
متن کاملIL10 in Lupus Nephritis: Detection and relationship with disease activity
INTRODUCTION Glomerulonephritis is a major determinant of the course and prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is evident in 40%-85% of patients. IL10, a cytokine produced by monocytes and-to a lesser extent-lymphocytes, has pleiotropic effects in immune regulation and inflammation. It enhances B cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and antibody production; these effects...
متن کاملSerum Renalase Levels Correlate with Disease Activity in Lupus Nephritis
INTRODUCTION Lupus nephritis (LN) is among the most serious complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which causes significant morbidity and mortality. Renalase is a novel, kidney-secreted cytokine-like protein that promotes cell survival. Here, we aimed to investigate the relationship of serum renalase levels with LN and its role in the disease progression of LN. METHODS For this ...

متن کاملActivated renal macrophages are markers of disease onset and disease remission in lupus nephritis.
Costimulatory blockade with CTLA4Ig and anti-CD40L along with a single dose of cyclophosphamide induces remission of systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis in NZB/W F(1) mice. To understand the mechanisms for remission and for impending relapse, we examined the expression profiles of 61 inflammatory molecules in the perfused kidneys of treated mice and untreated mice at different stages of dise...
