Machine-Learning-Quantified Lupus Nephritis Histological Features Correlate with NIH Activity and Chronicity Index Subscores
ASN 2022
Study Background
Lupus nephritis (LN) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Between 10%-30% of patients with progressive LN will require kidney replacement therapy, due to kidney failure, within 5 years of diagnosis. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) LN activity and chronicity indices, which are based on histological evaluation and scoring of renal biopsies, are used for diagnosis, to confirm the extent of disease, and inform treatment decisions. However,
interobserver variability and poor quantitation limit the utility of histology-based metrics for precision medicine. To mitigate these challenges, and to develop new insight into LN pathobiology, machine learning (ML)-based models that quantify histologic features in LN were co-developed by Genentech and PathAI.
