Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an open-label, prospective, single-arm, observational study in patients with Lupus nephritis (LN) who newly (i.e.,for the first time) received treatment of Enteric-coated Mycophenolate Sodium (EC-MPS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational study. Patients will be treated and followed according to routine medical practice in terms of visit frequency and type of assessment performed. Only endpoint related data will be collected as part of the study. Patient demographic information, disease characteristics, treatments and laboratory data will be collected retrospectively.
