The goal of this session is that the learner will be better able to provide expert guidance on effective individualized decision-making for patients with lupus nephritis.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease of variable severity and symptom presentation that affects multiple organs in the body. The waxing and waning nature of the disease course between flares and remission requires careful management by physicians, and patients must take an active role in self-care; the involvement of different organs means that care of patients must be multidisciplinary to be effective. This panel of expert faculty will discuss identification, classification, and management of patients with lupus nephritis within the context of the overall disease and other organ manifestations.
