Excerpt

Racial differences were observed in clinical, serologic and histologic presentation of lupus nephritis (LN)[1]. It has been suggested that Th1/Th2 cytokines balance and IFNG polymorphism play important role in the development of different pathologic pattern of lupus nephritis (LN )[24]. The objective of our study is to determine the association between autoantibodies expression, Th1/Th2 cytokines balance and IFNG polymorphisms with pathologic class of LN in Javanese patients. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
