Urine biomarker score captures response to induction therapy with lupus nephritis

ConclusionsThe RAIL biomarkers differentiate LN patients based on activity of kidney disease, with decreases of  ≥ 1 in pRAIL scores indicating complete response to induction therapy. Significantly lower RAIL scores in healthy controls and in SLE patients without known LN raise the possibility of subclinical kidney disease.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information
