Lupus nephritis in Croatian children: clinicopathologic findings and outcome.

abstract：:Lupus nephritis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Traditional outcome criteria such as doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage renal disease and death have been used in controlled therapeutic trials, but are limited by their low incidence and the extended p...
