Lupus Nephritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to investigate the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index and disease activity, as well as lupus nephritis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Interventions
Systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) is a combination of three hematological parameters (platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes) and it is calculated using the following formula: SII = (neutrophil count × platelet count)/lymphocyte count.
