OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the exosome-derived metabolomics profiles in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), identify differential metabolites, and analyze their potential as diagnostic markers for SLE and lupus nephritis (LN).
INTRODUCTION: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most frequent and serious organic manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autophagy, a new form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in a variety of renal diseases, but the relat...
The response of the kidney after induction treatment is one of the determinants of prognosis in lupus nephritis, but effective predictive tools are lacking. Here, we sought to apply deep learning approaches on kidney biopsies for treatment response p...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease. Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality in SLE. Proliferative and pure membranous LN have different prognoses and may require different treatmen...
Disrupted cytokine networks and autoantibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, conflicting reports and non-reproducibility have hindered progress regarding the translational potential of cytokines ...
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a challenging condition with limited diagnostic and treatment options. In this study, we applied 12 distinct machine learning algorithms along with Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to analyze single-cell datasets from k...
BACKGROUND: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with poor treatment outcomes. The role and underlying mechanisms of ferroptosis in LN remain largely unknown. We aimed to explore ferroptosis-related mole...

One of the most significant consequences of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is lupus nephritis (LN). Visfatin, an adipokine that is significantly expressed in visceral fat and is a marker of endothelial dysfunction in chronic kidney disease, has m...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop and validate machine learning models to predict proliferative lupus nephritis (PLN) occurrence, offering a reliable diagnostic alternative when renal biopsy is not feasible or safe.
This study aimed to analyze peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in lupus nephritis (LN) patients and use machine learning (ML) methods to establish an effective algorithm for predicting co-infection in LN. This study included 111 non-infected LN pati...
