Long-term data pertaining to childhood-onset lupus nephritis (cLN) remain extremely scarce.We conducted a retrospective cohort study of biopsy-proven cLN with onset age <18 years diagnosed from 2001 2020 ascertain the long-term patient and kidney survival rates, incidence advanced chronic disease (CKD) (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2).A total 92 subjects (78 female; 13.7 ± 3.3 years; all Chinese) were included, follow-up duration 10.3 (interquartile range,...
There is little data on renal relapse in childhood-onset LN (cLN). We investigate the incidence, predictive factors and outcomes related to relapse.
Abstract A subgroup of children with frequently-relapsing, steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome relapse during B-cell depletion after rituximab. 15-year-old boy focal segmental glomerulosclerosis became rituximab-refractory 5 courses treatments, a relapse-free period shortened to 1 month. Circulating total and memory B-cells were undetectable at the time relapse. single infusion obinutuzumab sustained remission up last follow-up 18 months.
