Abstract
⺠Current clinical tests are not sensitive enough for detecting disease activity in SLE. ⺠We profiled 27 cytokines in urine looking for biomarkers of disease activity in SLE. ⺠MCP-1 levels in urine were directly associated to disease activity in our cohort. ⺠Non-invasive biomarkers could avoid blood sampling or tissue biopsies in SLE.
