Lupus Forum Chair Ed Vital, from the University of Leeds, is joined by Doctor Antony Psarras, an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Rheumatology at the University of Oxford and at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology.

Together, they discuss the use of CD163 as a marker for diagnosis and flare in lupus nephritis. They also discuss the impact of discontinuing immunosuppression on the disease, in particular looking at novel research surrounding the predictors of flares, time to withdrawal and long-term outcomes.
