  • If the patient had previous kidney disease (documented UCPR >0.5 as part of ACR, SLICC or EULAR criteria and preferably a biopsy such that Class can be recorded), the patient is now in clinical remission as defined by a UPCR <0.3 at the current visit regardless of any serologic activity. Relapse rates of lupus nephritis occurs in approximately one-third of patients.
  • If no history of previous kidney disease, diagnosis of SLE within 5 years of the current visit, a positive anti-dsDNA and or low C3 or C4 levels, and current UPCR <0.3.
