How does it feel when you have had lupus for more than 20 years ?

 

Lupus Europe is organising its 4th Patient Panel which will focus on the theme of « Senior with lupus ». If you are 60 Years + and have been diagnosed before 2000, send us an email and be selected to join another 10 persons from different countries in Europe that live in a similar situation. We very much would like to hear your opinion! What questions or concerns are biggest for you now? How is your lupus different now than it was at the start? What helps you kick lupus every day?

 

The Patient Panel is made for people with lupus by people with lupus. No outsiders, just among us. It will be held in Barcelona from Friday, February 3rd in the evening until Sunday, February 5th around lunch time. All costs (travel and stay) will be paid by LUPUS EUROPE. The language will be English, but don’t worry, most participants are not native speakers!

 

Please apply as soon as possible by email to secretariat@lupus-europe.org

🚨 New publication alert: EULAR recommendations for the management of systemic lupus erythematosus with kidney involvement- 2025 update.

‼️ According to Lupus Europe's 2024 Swiss knife survey:

1️⃣ Kidney involvement remains one of the most worrying and impactful lupus manifestations for many people in Europe.
2️⃣ Kidney problems are among the manifestations causing the greatest long-term concern.
3️⃣ Only a small minority of patients report long-term stability without flares.
4️⃣ Patients want clearer goals, better communication, and care that looks beyond lab values alone.

That is why the 2025 update of the EULAR recommendations for the management of systemic lupus erythematosus with kidney involvement is such an important step forward.

✅ These updated recommendations reinforce several key messages that matter to patients:
- Early and regular monitoring of kidney involvement.
- Timely kidney biopsy when needed.
- Clear treatment targets to preserve kidney function.
- A strong focus on combination therapies when appropriate.
- Long-term kidney protection, not only short-term control.

🌟 We are especially proud that our Chair, Jeanette Andersen, was part of the international task force that developed these recommendations, ensuring that the patient perspective was present at the table.
