Lupus Nephritis: A Different Disease in European Patients?

Original language description

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is still associated with significant mortality and substantial risk of progression to endstage renal failure. Its outcome is related to the class and severity of LN and response to treatment, and it is poorer in patientswith renal relapses. Ethnicity has a relatively welldefined impact on the outcome of the patients and their response to treatment and must always be taken into consideration in treatment decisions. Summary: In this article, we provide a review of the impact of ethnicity on the prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the proportion of patients with SLE developing LN, outcomes of SLE and LN and response of LN to treatment. In European patients, the prevalence of SLE and the proportion of SLE patients with LN are lower and the outcome of LN is better than in nonwhite populations. European patients may respond better to some modes of treatment [e.g. cyclophosphamide (CYC) or rituximab] and may be less frequently refractory to trea
