Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates the epidemiology of lupus nephritis (LN) in an 8-county region of the US from 1976 to 2018, highlighting a lack of previous population-based research.
  • The research found that 76% of the 72 identified LN patients were female and mostly non-Hispanic White, with average incidence rates and a notable increase in prevalence over the decades examined.
  • Despite the rising incidence and prevalence, LN patients face severe outcomes, experiencing high mortality rates and significant instances of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Surely the worst involvement in #lupus: lupus nephritis. With @HocaogluMd and @AliDuarteMD, we showed that patients with #lupusnephritis are by 6-times more at risk of death. https://t.co/capaoMknob

Mayo LUMEN study looked at SLE nephritis incidence betw 1976 -2018, & showed that LN increased over past 4 decades. LN patients have poor outcomes w/ higer rates of ESRD & mortality rates (SMR 6.33); @10 yr survival =70% & 13% ESRD https://t.co/QDDTORSgyZ https://t.co/89ldzxhuMk
