Higher serum ferritin levels have been observed in inflammatory conditions as SO JIA & MAS. This study assesses its use as a marker of disease activity & lupus nephritis in JSLE. This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 48 JSLE patients and 43 healthy controls. Serum ferritin level was measured using ELISA technique. Our results showed that serum ferritin is significantly higher in JSLE patients compared with controls. Also, it has positive correlation with SLEDAI-2K, renal SLEDAI,SLICC renal activity score, C3 and anti ds DNA level. Therefore, serum ferritin can be used as a marker for disease activity& renal activity Issued also as CD JSLE Lupus nephritis Serum ferritin Doaa Mohamed Geith , Supervisor Samia Salah Eldin Mahmoud , Supervisor Yomna Mohamed Farag , Supervisor http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf Enas Cataloger Nazla Revisor ddc TH 59485 59485 ddc 0 CUCL cl210 2024-02-11 Cai01.11.28.M.Sc.2016.Bi.S 01010110070579000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 TH ddc 0 CUCL cl2u8 2024-02-11 Cai01.11.28.M.Sc.2016.Bi.S 01020110070579000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 70579.CD CD
