SYSeitaro Yoshida CTChristophe Toukam Tchakoute HMHuiyan Ashley Mao

Key Points

This analysis investigates how renal flares influence health-related quality of life in lupus nephritis patients.
Utilized control arm data from the LUNAR Phase 3 Clinical Trial
Measured health-related quality of life using SF-36 and FACIT-Fatigue scales
Conducted statistical analyses to correlate renal flares with quality of life outcomes.
Patients experiencing renal flares reported significantly lower scores on the SF-36 and FACIT-Fatigue scales
Highlighting that renal flares negatively affect overall quality of life and fatigue levels in these patients.

Abstract

Renal flares in patients with LN significantly impact their HRQOL as measured by the SF-36 and the FACIT-Fatigue, highlighting the importance of preserving kidney function from the patient perspective among those with LN.
