Abstract

Background Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) is a treatment target for patients with SLE and is associated with decreased risk for severe flare and new damage. We investigated the utility of the achievement of LLDAS in children with lupus nephritis and whether attainment of LLDAS is associated with more favorable outcomes.
