Filter by:Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis (DAIN) is a rare entity characterized by acute renal failure linked to inflammation of the renal parenchyma secondary to allergenic drug exposure. Treatment is based primarily on the precise identification of the causative drug and its final elimination. Currently, the identification of the causative drug is based on clinical presumption. There is no test to formally identify the causative drug. On the other hand, in-vitro allergological tests (lymphocyte transformation test in particular) have been developed in the course of immuno-allergic drug toxiderma linked to delayed type IV hypersensitivity to identify the causal drug. These tests have not been studied during DAIN, but their value in drug-induced eruption is indisputable. The objective of our study is to determine whether in vitro allergy tests can identify the causative drug during DAIN. If the in vitro tests fail, they will be supplemented by allergological skin tests.
study epidemiology of lupus nephritis patients admitted to nephrology unit inward or in outpatient clinic in Assiut Nephrology Unit
The aim of the study to assess the multifocal ERG (mfERG) changes in SLE patients treated with chloroquine in renal patients with comparison to SLE patients without kidney affection.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether C4d is a better biomarker and examine whether C4d plasma levels correlate with treatment response and C4d kidney deposition in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with lupus nephritis (LN).
To demonstrate the efficacy of SHR-1314 at Week 12 in subjects with proliferation lupus nephritis in terms of improvement of 24h UPCR, compared to placebo. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of SHR-1314 in the patient population over the study period.
This a single-centre, one-arm, open-label pilot study. Eligible patients with mild proteinuric flares of lupus nephritis Class III/IV±V are received sirolimus without changing previous immunosuppressive medication during 12-week follow-up. Primary Objective: - To investigate the efficacy of sirolimus for mild proteinuric flares in patients with Class III/IV±V lupus nephritis Secondary Objective: - To assess the safety and tolerability of sirolimus treatment for mild proteinuric flares in patients with Class III/IV±V lupus nephritis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nipocalimab versus placebo in participants with active Lupus Nephritis (LN).
About 20% children with allergic purpura develop nephritis syndrome or nephrotic syndrome, 1% to 7% to kidney failure or end-stage renal disease. Children with serious damage to health, significantly reduced quality of life and caused heavy economic burden to the family . As the pathogenesis of HSPN is complex, it is difficult to formulate an exact individualized treatment plan.
Urinary levels of plasmin ,TF , and TFPI are all elevated in active LN patients compared to inactive LN patients and healthy controls. All four proteins correlated with systemic disease activity and renal disease activity. Importantly, urine plasmin performed best among the four proteins in discriminating active LN from inactive disease, even better than traditional markers, such as anti ds DNA and complement C3. Furthermore, the combination of urine plasmin and TFPI showed higher specificity and negative predictive values than urine plasmin when compared to anti-ds DNA and complement C3
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a main manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which will largely effect the prognosis of SLE patients. Our previous 10-year data showed that the development of LN is most common in the first year of SLE, occupying about 17%. And our group has established a prediction model to predict the 1-year probability of LN for SLE patients without renal involvement. Our previous proof-of-concept trial and multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial indicated that metformin seemed to have potential to reduce the new-onset of LN in SLE patients (Unpublished data, in review). So the investigators tried to illustrate whether metformin has effect to prevent the development of lupus nephritis in high risk SLE patients based on LN prediction model.
