Description

Early reduction in proteinuria is a key predictor of improved long-term kidney health in lupus nephritis (LN). In this episode, Dr. Anna Wolska from the Lupus Foundation of America speaks with Drs. Maria Dall'Era and Anca Askanase about a new propensity analysis comparing voclosporin-based triple immunosuppressive therapy to traditional high-dose glucocorticoid regimens. They discuss findings from the AURA-LV and AURORA 1 studies, highlighting the safety benefits and earlier proteinuria reduction seen with voclosporin. Tune in to explore how these insights may shape LN treatment guidelines and improve patient outcomes.
