Résumé
We have previously shown that 15 urinary biomarkers (of 129 tested by Luminex), discriminate between active Lupus Nephritis (ALN) and non-LN patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of these 15 previously-identified urinary biomarkers to predict treatment responses to conventional therapy, and for the most predictive of these biomarkers to validate their utility to identify ALN patients in an independent prospectively-acquired lupus cohort. Our study had a 3-stage approach. In stage 1, we used Luminex to examine whether our previously identified urinary biomarkers at the time of the renal flare ( ± 3 months) or 12 ± 3 months after treatment of biopsy-proven ALN could predict treatment responses. In stage 2, a larger prospectively-acquired cross-sectional cohort was used to further validate the utility of the most predictive urinary biomarkers (identified in stage 1) to detect ALN patients. In this 2 Twenty-one patients were included in stage 1. Twelve (57.1%), 4 (19.1%), and 5 (23.8%) patients had a complete (CR), partial (PR) and no (NR) remission at 24 ± 3 months, respectively. The percentage decrease following 12 ± 3 months of treatment for Adiponectin, MCP-1, sVCAM-1, PF4, IL-15 and vWF was significantly higher in patients with CR in comparison to those with PR/NR. In stage 2, a total of 247 SLE patients were included, of which 24 (9.7%) had ALN, 79 (31.9%) had LN in remission (RLN) and 144 (58.3%) were non-LN (NLN) patients. Based on the combinations of biomarkers with the best operating characteristics we propose "rule out" and "rule in" ALN criteria. In stage 3, 53 biopsy-proven ALN patients were included, 35 with proliferative LN and 18 with non-proliferative ALN, demonstrating that our "rule in ALN" criteria operate better in detecting active proliferative than non-proliferative classes. Our results provide further evidence to support the role of Adiponectin, MCP-1, sVCAM-1 and PF4 in the detection of proliferative ALN cases. We further show the clinical utility of measuring multiple rather than a single biomarker and we propose novel "rule in" and "rule out" criteria for the detection of proliferative ALN with excellent operating characteristics.

Background
We have previously shown that 15 urinary biomarkers (of 129 tested by Luminex), discriminate between active Lupus Nephritis (ALN) and non-LN patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of these 15 previously-identified urinary biomarkers to predict treatment responses to conventional therapy, and for the most predictive of these biomarkers to validate their utility to identify ALN patients in an independent prospectively-acquired lupus cohort.
Methods
Our study had a 3-stage approach. In stage 1, we used Luminex to examine whether our previously identified urinary biomarkers at the time of the renal flare ( ± 3 months) or 12 ± 3 months after treatment of biopsy-proven ALN could predict treatment responses. In stage 2, a larger prospectively-acquired cross-sectional cohort was used to further validate the utility of the most predictive urinary biomarkers (identified in stage 1) to detect ALN patients.

Results
Twenty-one patients were included in stage 1. Twelve (57.1%), 4 (19.1%), and 5 (23.8%) patients had a complete (CR), partial (PR) and no (NR) remission at 24 ± 3 months, respectively. The percentage decrease following 12 ± 3 months of treatment for Adiponectin, MCP-1, sVCAM-1, PF4, IL-15 and vWF was significantly higher in patients with CR in comparison to those with PR/NR. In stage 2, a total of 247 SLE patients were included, of which 24 (9.7%) had ALN, 79 (31.9%) had LN in remission (RLN) and 144 (58.3%) were non-LN (NLN) patients. Based on the combinations of biomarkers with the best operating characteristics we propose "rule out" and "rule in" ALN criteria. In stage 3, 53 biopsy-proven ALN patients were included, 35 with proliferative LN and 18 with non-proliferative ALN, demonstrating that our "rule in ALN" criteria operate better in detecting active proliferative than non-proliferative classes.
Conclusions
Our results provide further evidence to support the role of Adiponectin, MCP-1, sVCAM-1 and PF4 in the detection of proliferative ALN cases. We further show the clinical utility of measuring multiple rather than a single biomarker and we propose novel "rule in" and "rule out" criteria for the detection of proliferative ALN with excellent operating characteristics.
