"Biomarker Predicts Lupus Nephritis Flares"

Excerpts:

"And in a longitudinal analysis, high levels of C4d in conjunction with anti-ds-DNA autoantibodies, was significantly predictive of future lupus nephritis."

"Clearly, there is still a need for a biomarker that would predict lupus nephritis so that preventive measures could be initiated as soon as possible," the investigators said. "C4D levels are more valuable than either C3 or C4 in predicting recurrence of renal flares, aiding clinicians in adjusting treatment in time."

For some odd reason, the following link (which is correct) doesn't always load if you click on it- if you get a 404 error (not found), to read the article copy the link address and open in a new tab or window. It may take several attempts as that fails sometimes as well.
