Increased apolipoprotein-B:A1 ratio predicts cardiometabolic risk in patients with juvenile onset SLE

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE). Traditional factors for cardiovascular risk (CVR) prediction are less robust in younger patients. More reliable CVR biomarkers are needed for JSLE patient stratification and to identify therapeutic approaches to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in JSLE. METHODS:...
