4 PLA 2 R Ab level is an independent risk factor for not achieving remission after 12 months Hoxha E et al. JASN 2014

6 Lupus nephritis IgG4-related kidney disease Atypical HUS

7 Lupus nephritis

8 Association of Asian ethnicity with SLE activity an observational study from the Monash Lupus Clinic Golder et al. Lupus 2013

9 association between ACE I/D polymorphism and the presence of SLE disease and lupus nephritis The prevalence of DD genotype in SLE patients was lower than controls (OR 0.44 [95% CI ]) The prevalence of ID genotype was higher in LN patients compared to controls (OR 1.77 [95% CI ]) Pitipakorn et al. Int J Rheum Dis 2013

10 No association between ACE I/D polymorphism and SLE disease severity, either in patients with or without nephritis Pitipakorn et al. Int J Rheum Dis 2013

11 Weening et al. Kidney Int 2004 ISN/RPS 2003 classification of lupus nephritis Class I: minimal mesangial lupus nephritis Class II: mesangial proliferative lupus nephritis Class III: focal lupus nephritis Class IV: diffuse lupus nephritis Class V: membranous lupus nephritis Class VI: advanced sclerotic lupus nephritis

14 Suggested treatment algorithm for resistant LN several therapeutic approaches may be tried, including prolonging the course of standard therapy, switching to MMF or intravenous cyclophosphamide, adding a CNI, using adjunctive plasmapheresis or immunoabsorption, and using B cell-targeted therapy with rituximab Kalloo et al. CJASN 2013

15 Monitoring activity of lupus nephritis Joint European League Against Rheumatism and European Renal Association European Dialysis and Transplant Association (EULAR/ERA-EDTA) recommendations Monitoring of egfr, proteinuria, urinary sediment, serum C3/C4, and serum antidsdna antibody levels are used to define activity although their individual predictive value for hard outcomes at particular time points is modest. Bertsias et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2012

16 Monitoring activity of lupus nephritis Joint European League Against Rheumatism and European Renal Association European Dialysis and Transplant Association (EULAR/ERA-EDTA) recommendations Although serum C3 has generally higher sensitivity than serum C4, both tests have modest specificity for active lupus nephritis. The diagnostic accuracy of serum antidsdna is also modest. Bertsias et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2012

19 Common Treat proteinuria with RAAS (first) Treatment Class II Difference ACR: no immunosuppressive treatment EULAR/ERA-EDTA: proteinuria >1 g/day; low to moderate doses oral glucocorticoids alone or in combination with AZA KDIGO: proteinuria <1day; treat as dictated by extrarenal manifestations Proteinuria >3 g/day; corticosteroids or CNI GEAS: proteinuria >1~2 g/day and/or deteriorated renal function; steroids possibly plus AZA or MMF

20 Induction treatment Class III/IV without crescents Common Oral steroid with or without iv pulse methylprednisolone + ivcyc or MMF (induction) Difference Dosage and preferences for different severities and ethnic groups: Glucocorticoids: Tapering schedule: unclear ivcyc: In case of low-dose ivcyc, combine pulses MP

21 Induction treatment Class IV or IV/V with crescents Common No consensus Difference KDIGO, DWP, CARRA: same as without crescents ACR: ivcyc or MMF+ iv pulses MP + oral glucocorticoids; MMF and oral glucocorticoids at highest doses EULAR/ERA-EDTA: high dose ivcyc can also be prescribed GEAS: ivcyc + iv pulses MP

22 Common If nephroticrange proteinuria: oral steroid (0.5 mg/kg/d) combined with other immunosuppressants (except in GEAS) Induction treatment Class V Difference GEAS: also in patients with non-nephroticrange proteinuria; oral glucocorticoids up to 1 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg) combined with either ivcyc,mmf, AZA or CNIs Type of additional immunosuppressive medication: EULAR/ERA-EDTA: preferably MMF, alternatives; high-dose ivcyc, CNIs or rituximab ACR: MMF KDIGO: ivcyc, CNIs, MMF or AZA

23 CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF LUPUS NEPHRITIS IN ASIAN PATIENTS by Asian Lupus Nephritis Network (ALNN)

24 CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS IN ASIAN PATIENTS: treatment of Class III or Class IV Induction treatment: combination immunosuppression comprising high-dose corticosteroids and an immunosuppressive agent (intravenous pulse CYC, MMF, or oral CYC) Intravenous pulse corticosteroid treatment should be administered to patients with crescentic involvement of 10% or more of the glomeruli on renal biopsy, or those with deteriorating renal function.

25 CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS IN ASIAN PATIENTS treatment of Class III or Class IV Combination immunosuppression with corticosteroids and MMF is considered a standard-of-care treatment option. However, while the short-term efficacy was similar between MMF or CYC based induction treatment, CYC induction may be associated with more sustained remission and more favorable long-term renal outcome.

26 CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS IN ASIAN PATIENTS treatment of Class III or Class IV The recommended target dose for MMF during the induction phase is g daily in Asian patients, and it is advisable not to reduce the daily dose of MMF to below 1.5 g within the first year, and not to go below 1 g daily within the second year in view of the reported association with increased risk of relapse.

27 CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS IN ASIAN PATIENTS treatment of Class V The threshold for immunosuppressive treatment is proteinuria 2 g/day in patients with normal renal function and inactive lupus serology, while a lower threshold may apply in patients with deterioration in proteinuria or renal function or active lupus serology.

28 Lupus paradox: SLE in complement deficiency The classical pathway of complement is important for preventing SLE, but once the disease is established, complement may amplify the disease. Leffler et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2014

38 atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (atypical HUS)

39

40 Definition of atypical HUS atypical HUS is a type of TMA that differs from STEC-HUS and TTP, with the latter being caused by markedly reduced ADAMTS13 activity. atypical HUS is a syndrome characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and AKI, which is similar to STEC-HUS.

41 secondary TMA

50 The prevalence of this mutation among the patients with PNH (3.2%) was similar to that among healthy Japanese persons (3.5%) Nishimura et al. N Engl J Med 2014

51

52 Conclusion Inappropriate complement activation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ahus. Because a number of complement regulatory proteins are involved, genetic analysis is often difficult and is inconclusive. Eculizumab is effective, and should be initiated early in the disease course.

53 Conclusion The markers of an active TMA (thrombocytopenia, anemia, elevated LDH) respond rapidly to treatment with eculizumab in virtually all patients with an underlying complement abnormality.
