“…These two groups have already been described in a previous RELESSAR study as being associated with a more disadvantaged socioeconomic position, less medical coverage, fewer years of formal education, a shorter time to diagnosis due to the presentation of a more aggressive disease in comparison with the Caucasian group. 10 Of interest, the use of antimalarials was similar in our two groups as opposed to what has been reported in other studies; this probably reflects the fact that, overall, more than 95% of our patients were receiving these compounds.…”

“…In the Argentine multicenter RELESSAR registry, the prevalence of LN was 42.2%. 2 On the other hand, it has been seen that non-Caucasian origin, male gender, and earlier onset of the disease have been associated with a higher frequency of kidney disease development and worse long-term prognosis. 3 Despite advances in current treatments, LN leads to endstage chronic kidney disease (ESKD) in up to 20% of patients, requiring dialysis or renal transplant (RT).…”
