Abstract

Close
- Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, promising emerging biomarkers pave the way toward an improved management of patients with LN. We have reviewed the literature over the past decade, and we herein summarise the most relevant biomarkers for diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis in LN. An initial systematic search of Medline was conducted to identify pertinent articles. A total of 104 studies were selected to be included in this review. Several diagnostic biomarkers, including MCP-1, TWEAK, NGAL, and uric acid, exhibited good ability to differentiate LN patients from non-renal SLE patients. Several cytokines and chemokines, including IL-10, IL-17, MCP-1, and IP-10, hold promise for assessing LN disease activity, as do cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Angiogenesis-related and haemostasis-related proteins have also displayed potential for monitoring disease activity. Biomarkers of responses to therapy include Axl, CD163, and BAFF, whereas VCAM-1, ALCAM, and ANCAs have been reported as prognostic markers, along with traditional markers. In addition, novel renal tissue biomarkers may prove to be a useful complement to histological evaluations. The overall heterogeneity of the inclusion criteria and outcome measures across different studies, along with a lack of validation in multi-centre cohorts, call for future collaborative efforts. Nevertheless, we foresee that several biomarkers hold promise toward optimisation of the management of LN, with the use of integrated omics and panels of less invasive biomarkers paving the way towards personalised medicine.
