Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is systemic autoimmune disease characterized by various immunological abnormalities, including dysregulated activation of both T and B lymphocytes with overt production of autoreactive antibodies.The chemokine CXC ligand 13 protein (CXCL13), also known as B cell-attracting chemokine-1 (BAC-1) or B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC), CXCL13 serum levels were correlated with disease activity using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and to lupus nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting many organ systems. SLE includes a wide spectrum of severity, ranging from relatively mild manifestations (e.g. skin rash or non-erosive arthritis) to seriously disabling or even life threatening complications, such as lupus nephritis (LN) and neuropsychiatric disorders . LN is one of the most serious SLE complications since it is the major predictor of poor prognosis . Lupus nephritis is a common major organ manifestation and main cause of morbidity and mortality of the disease . It is occurred in 30-50% of SLE patients at initial diagnosis and more prevalent in Asians and Blacks than other races . Approximately, 10-30% of LN patients will develop the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 15 years after diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate of a patient with severe LN is less than70-80%. Therefore, an involvement of renal disease activity is one of the most important prognostic factors for patients with SLE, and the diagnosis of SLE patients with LN has an important clinical implication in guiding the treatment of SLE in clinical settings.
