Kidney transplants generally safe for lupus patients
Individuals with a history of lupus who receive a kidney transplant rarely develop the serious inflammatory condition lupus nephritis in their new organ, according to a paper being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, CA. view more (2009-11-02)
Mayo Clinic shows therapy effective for reducing lupus flares
Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that an immunosuppressive drug used in organ transplant cases is effective in reducing flare-ups in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). view more (2007-11-09)
Treatment of kidney condition requires an individualised
Good patient information is essential for choosing the best treatment for the kidney disease lupus nephritis. Dutch researcher Cecile Grootscholten concludes this following her doctoral research into two methods for treating lupus nephritis. view more (2007-05-15)
Gene linked to lupus might explain gender difference in disease risk
In an international human genetic study, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a gene linked to the autoimmune disease lupus, and its location on the X chromosome might help explain why females are 10 times more susceptible to the disease than males. view more (2009-03-30)
Team develops DNA compounds that could help treat lupus
A research team led by a University of Iowa investigator has generated DNA-like compounds that effectively inhibit the cells responsible for systemic lupus erythematosus -- the most common and serious form of lupus. view more (2009-05-28)
New biomarkers for lupus found
A Wake Forest University School of Medicine team believes it has found biomarkers for lupus that also may play a role in causing the disease. view more (2006-11-13)
Genes linked with lupus are revealed, giving hope for new treatments
Scientists have identified a number of genes involved in Lupus, a devastating autoimmune disease, in new research published today in the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2008-01-21)
A reversal of thinking: How women with lupus can increase chance for healthy pregnancies
In the not so distant past, women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease, were advised not to have children, and if they became pregnant, to have therapeutic abortions to prevent severe flares of their lupus. view more (2008-10-27)
Scientists identify genes linked to lupus in women
An international consortium of scientists has identified multiple genes that are linked to systemic lupus erythematosus, a devastating autoimmune disease that affects between 1 million and 2 million Americans. view more (2008-01-21)
Researchers investigate ways to detect lupus-associated kidney disease
High urinary levels of certain molecules might have the potential to serve as biomarkers for a potentially life-shortening kidney ailment caused by the autoimmune disease lupus, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-11-14)
Development of DNA drugs gives hope to lupus patients
A generation of DNA-like compounds, class R inhibitory oligonucleotides (INH-ODNs), have been shown to effectively inhibit cells responsible for the chronic autoimmune condition lupus. view more (2009-05-28)
High-tech spectroscopy may be used to monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may provide a noninvasive way to monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with lupus, according to results from research in mice at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2006-11-13)
Eating More Fish - The Answer To Lupus?
New research from the University of Ulster today offered hope to millions of lupus sufferers worldwide. Dr Emeir Duffy, from the School of Biomedical Sciences, and Dr Gary Meenagh, from Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast, have discovered new evidence to suggest that fish oil can greatly reduce the symptoms of the disease. Systemic Lupus... view more... (2003-03-11)
Preclinical study suggests organ-transplant drug may aid in lupus fight
A compound related to a drug used in humans to prevent organ-transplant rejection attacks a key biochemical process in the faulty immune cells of lupus-prone mice, suggesting a possible new approach to combating the disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-08-16)
Pregnant women with lupus face higher risk of complications and death
Women with systemic lupus who become pregnant are at significantly greater risk for death or other medical complications than are pregnant women without lupus, Duke University Medical Center researchers have found in a nationwide study of more than 18 million women. view more (2006-11-13)
DNA variations signal lupus risk
Scientists have pinpointed a set of common variations in human DNA that signal a higher risk for lupus in women who carry them. view more (2008-01-21)
'Multi-target' immune therapy improves outcomes of severe lupus nephritis
A new treatment using a combination of drugs targeting different parts of the immune system improves the recovery rate for patients with severe lupus involving the kidneys, according to a report in the October Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-07-02)
Lupus gene finding prompts call for more DNA samples
Wellcome Trust researchers have identified a key gene involved in the disease Lupus, which affects around 50,000 people in the UK, mostly women. view more (2007-12-03)
Controlling stress helps fight chronic diseases such as Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease which produces antibodies causing injuries to the body's cells and tissue. It makes the immune system go out of control and the organism attack healthy cells instead of the germs on them. This pathology, which affects more than 5 million people around the world, is more developed in women of fertile age between 15... view more... (2007-08-02)
Research suggests targeted treatment strategies for lupus
New research provides clues about the causes of lupus symptoms and suggests specific new targeted treatment strategies, according to Nilamadham Mishra, M.D., from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, in presentations this week at the American College of Rheumatology in Boston. view more (2007-11-12)
