Such a great discussion on Refractory Lupus Nephritis on today’s @GlomCon Glomerular Disease Fellowship session 😍

💡This is a really interesting algorithm for Refractory LN proposed by Dr @BradRovin 👏🏻

✅ Here are some great #NephPearls

#NephTwitter #HouseOfComplement @GlomCon @BradRovin @Nefrontera @LGlomcon @OrhanEfe_ @SaynaNorouzi @BetterCallSeeth ✅Voclosporin and Belimumab are considered as second induction regimen if there is no remission

💡 This is because best results regarding renal response are seen in patients who have already been exposed to immunosuppressive therapies❗️

✅ Here are some amazing pearls on LN:

#NephTwitter #PathTwitter #NephPearls @GlomCon @VBijol Lesions that are highly characteristic of LN:

🟢 IF: IgG dominant glomerular deposits associated with a "full house"
- IgG, IgA, IgM, C3 & C1q

🔵 EM: multiple site deposition
- Subendothelial, subepithelial, intramembranous and mesangial
