Prognostic factors in lupus nephritis: contribution of renal histologic data
HA Austin III, LR Muenz, KM Joyce… - The American journal of …, 1983 - Elsevier
The predictive value of laboratory results and renal histologic data was examined in 102
patients upon entry into prospective, randomized, therapeutic trials of lupus nephritis. Three
clinical features at the time of entry into the study were individually associated with
increased rates of renal failure: age less than 24 years, male gender, and an elevated serum
creatinine level. Subjects with diffuse proliferative or membranoproliferative
glomerulonephritis were at a modest but significantly increased risk for the development of …
