Renal
Rate as ‘No activity’ stable long-lasting features related to damage and renal involvement not related to the disease.
If biopsy has been performed, please rate activity based on histological features first
No=0Absence of currently active renal involvement with proteinuria <0.5 g/day, no haematuria, no leucocyturia, no acidosis or long-lasting stable proteinuria due to damage
Low=5Evidence of mild active renal involvement, limited to tubular acidosis without renal failure or glomerular involvement with proteinuria (between 0.5 and 1 g/day) and without haematuria or renal failure (GFR ≥60 mL/min)
Moderate=10Moderately active renal involvement, such as tubular acidosis with renal failure (GFR <60 mL/min) or glomerular involvement with proteinuria between 1 and 1.5 g/day and without haematuria or renal failure (GFR ≥60 mL/min) or histological evidence of extra-membranous glomerulonephritis or important interstitial lymphoid infiltrate
High=15Highly active renal involvement, such as glomerular involvement with proteinuria >1.5 g/day, or haematuria or renal failure (GFR <60 mL/min), or histological evidence of proliferative glomerulonephritis or cryoglobulinemia related renal involvement
