Risk factors and impact of recurrent lupus nephritis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus undergoing renal transplantation: Data from a single US institution

Abstract

African American ethnicity was independently associated with recurrent lupus nephritis. Allograft loss was associated with chronic transplant rejection and recurrence of lupus nephritis. Recurrent lupus nephritis is infrequent and relatively benign, without influence on a patient's survival.
