Read our Lupus Nephritis research guide →This is a registry study — meaning researchers are collecting detailed health information from patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis to create a large database. They will track your health over time, recording your symptoms, lab results, medications, and how your kidney function changes. This information will help doctors understand which patients are at higher risk for serious complications and which treatments work best.
Lupus nephritis is a serious kidney condition that can lead to kidney failure or other life-threatening complications. By gathering information from thousands of patients in one database, researchers can identify patterns and outcomes that will help improve how the condition is diagnosed and treated.

You will be asked to share detailed information about your health — including your blood pressure, weight, blood and urine test results, medications, and any complications you've had. At your first visit, researchers will collect this baseline information. Then you will return once a year for follow-up visits where they will ask similar questions and collect updated information to track how your condition and kidney function change over time.
