Brief Summary

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

In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, urinary CD4+ T cells may have the potential to predict subsequent renal flares in the next 6 months. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus from our outpatient clinic will be included in this cross-sectional, prospective biomarker study regardless of disease activity, clinical phenotype, and disease duration or baseline therapy. Urinary T cells will be analyzed by flow cytometry. 6 months after sample collection a clinical follow-up will be conducted to assess the occurrence of either recurrent or de novo renal flares.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Diagnostic Test: Flow cytometry analysis of urine samples. Urine samples will be conserved and frozen upon arrival. All samples will be stained according to T cell and B cell panel with fluorochromes. T cell panel: CD3, CD4, CD8, CCR7, CD45RO, CD38, CD279; B cell panel: CD19, CD20, CD27, CD38, CD21, IgD, CXCR5
