☑️ Lot's of interest & suggestions about refractory #lupus #nephritis 👍 including checking adherence, rebiopsy & alternative treatments 💊 such as CNI (TAC, VOCLO), RTX, OBI, BEL, etc... it's also good to know that there are MANY ongoing phase 2 & 3 clinical #trials 🎯
Our Chairman @edvital has recently hosted a #EULAR 2022 congress review, highlighting some of the key #lupus data presented at congress.
🚨 VERY IMPORTANT paper for #lupus mothers by Reynolds et al. ⬇️ There were NO significant increase in malformations or intrauterine growth restriction in children exposed to #Hydroxychloroquine in pregnancy. This is both important and reassuring 👍
https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keac372
Are we moving towards a paradigm shift in the management of #lupusnephritis after the introduction of #belimumab and #voclosporin?
How far are we from implementation of combination therapy and #personalisedmedicine in #lupus nephritis? #SLE
🆒 #LUPUS #NEPHRITIS update
- ISN/RPS 2003 findings
- Suggested 2018 updates
- Typical presentations
- Autoantibodies (#membranous)
Would love some feedback 🔄 from the #nephrology colleagues 👍

Prescribing ⬇️dose acetylsalicylic acid to pregnant women with SLE is a well known practise in many clinics. According to this study,if there's no renal involvement nor aPL,there is a ⬇️risk of severe obstetric complications.
Always discuss your treatment plan with your physician
Dr. Tani etat Shows that in their #cohort, patients with #SLE without #renal involvement & were aPL-negative seem to have a lowrisk of severe obstetric complications (pre-eclampsia), & #LDASA doesnot provide a significant advantage over these complications

SLE is a very varied and widespread disease, so much so that it has numerous subgroups...Do you want to discover them?

In case you wonder what an #immunoproteasome is... It is a type of intra-cellular structure which degrades ubiquitin-labeled proteins found in the cytoplasm in cells exposed to oxidative stress and proinflammatory stimuli. These pathways are actively studied in systemic #Lupus 👍

Over two billion people live with over 3000 different dermatological conditions. Lupus is one of them. That is the reason we'd like your input in the Global Research on the Impact of Dermatological Diseases (GRIDD) project by International Alliance of Dermatology Patient Organizations - IADPO.
Taking part on this project is very easy! You will only need to take a short 10-15 min survey in English. The survey tests a new tool that measures the impact of your disease. Doing this will help measure and validate the very real and difficult challenges faced by dermatology patients globally.
You can find the survey and all the information about the project in this link: globalskin.org/research/about-phase-4
Today is #WorldSclerodermaDay! 🌻
A day that brings together scleroderma communities from around the world to raise awareness and show solidarity with those facing the challenges of this rare, invisible and disabling disease. On this special day, we want to reaffirm that we're here to support you, encourage you and help you find the light bloom.
#BloomWithScleroderma today and always.

LEAF is an online tool developed by Dr. Laurent Arnaud whose objective is to assess fatigue and give some personalised advice on how we could manage it.
Fatigue could be affected by stress, low sleep quality or pain. The LEAF questionnaire will assess your pain based on your responses regarding depression, pain, stress, anxiety and quality of sleep. Once the data is analyzed, LEAF will give you some hints that could help improve fatigue.
The questionnaire is in English, French and Spanish and the answers will help understand more about fatigue! You can do LEAF even if you don’t have an autoimmune disease.

This looks really interesting, thanks. Fatigue is probably the worst aspect of having Lupus. Anything that helps manage that has to be a bonus
