🚨 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.
