Factors Associated with Rapid Progression to End Stage Kidney Disease in Lupus Nephritis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Lupus nephritis (LN) may lead to endstage kidney disease (ESKD) in 22% of patients over a period of 15 years, with the risk being particularly higher in diffuse proliferative forms. The rate of kidney function decline varies. However, a catastrophic course leading to ESKD within a few years from onset is uncommon. The aim of the present study was to assess the factors associated with rapid progression to ESKD in patients with LN.
