Today is the first day of the big European Rheumatology Congress, EULAR. The 2018 edition is being held in Amsterdam and will reunite thousands of delegates, mainly medical professionals.
Eular is “a platform to facilitate interactions between patients, medical doctors, scientists, health professionals and professionals representing the pharmaceutical industry, both from within Europe and from around the world.”
Here are some pictures of the LUPUS EUROPE stand at Eular.

🚨 #Kidney disease is a silent illness. Getting to recognise its symptoms is key to getting an early diagnosis and preventing potential complications:
1️⃣ Urine changes (in frequency or colour)
2️⃣ Swelling in 🤲 🦶 🦵
3️⃣ Foamy urine
4️⃣ High blood pressure
#WorldKidneyDay
‼️ Although #lupus nephritis remains one of the most serious complications for #SLE patients, early diagnosis and adequate treatment make remission possible in many cases.
✅ To achieve this, it is crucial that patients do not skip their routine check-ups.
#WorldKidneyDay
🚨 It is estimated that about 40% of #SLE patients will suffer from #lupus nephritis: one of the most dangerous & frequent complications of SLE- Carmona L. et al.
✅ Routine check-ups and early detection of symptoms are key to an early diagnosis.
#WorldKidneyDay
✅ The final version of the #SLAKE paper, the Systemic #Lupus Assessment of essential Knowledge instrument, is now published online at https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keaf649

✅ Key messages from the 'early #Lupus diagnosis' fishball at #ELM2026

- #Redflags/education for GPs is key
-Access to care/rethinking pathways

🚨 Today is #WorldKidneyDay! And we are supporting the World Kidney Day campaign.
People with kidney disease are among the most vulnerable people in an emergency because of their ongoing need for consistently coordinated care, which is often lifelong and involves complex ongoing treatment.
