Lupus nephritis pathology prediction with clinical indices.

Scientific reports
Effective treatment of lupus nephritis and assessment of patient prognosis depend on accurate pathological classification and careful use of acute and chronic pathological indices. Renal biopsy can provide most reliable predicting power. However, cli...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Northeastern Brazil: study of 25 cases and review of the literature.

Advances in rheumatology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Little has been published about the epidemiology of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in South America, especially in the intertropical zone, and no epidemiological data from Brazil are available. The purpose of the present study was...

An ontological approach to identifying cases of chronic kidney disease from routine primary care data: a cross-sectional study.

BMC nephrology
BACKGROUND: Accurately identifying cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) from primary care data facilitates the management of patients, and is vital for surveillance and research purposes. Ontologies provide a systematic and transparent basis for cli...
