Brief Summary
Study participants enrolled in the SAMPLE Biorepository (s14-00487) who have provided permission to be contacted for future research will be enrolled and randomized (1:1) two-arm controlled) to either 1) perform weekly home-based proteinuria testing in addition to standard of care or 2) standard of care only. Participants randomized to the home-based proteinuria testing arm will perform weekly home-based proteinuria testing in addition to having standard of care and respond to study team's weekly text messages with urine test results for one year.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants who Become Biopsy-Eligible
Becoming "biopsy-eligible" is defined as standard of care, clinically-indicated kidney biopsy for either de novo kidney disease or a relapse in a patient with preexisting kidney disease previously in remission.
Month 12
Study Arms (2)
Weekly Home-Based Proteinuria Testing
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to the home-based proteinuria testing arm will perform weekly home-based proteinuria testing in addition to having standard of care and respond to study team's weekly text messages with urine test results for one year.
Standard of Care
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants randomized to the standard of care arm will receive standard of care.
Interventions
Participants will perform weekly home urine testing with a dipstick. Participants will be collecting urine, evaluate it for protein level, and report results to study team via text message. Once results have been reported, urine collected at home will be destroyed.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- years or older
- Willing to provide informed consent
- Lupus diagnosis: Four of the ACR criteria,19,20 four of the SLICC criteria,21 and/or the recent ACR/EULAR criteria, which requires an ANA of 1:80 or greater plus a score of 10 points.
- If the patient had previous kidney disease (documented UCPR \>0.5 as part of ACR, SLICC or EULAR criteria and preferably a biopsy such that Class can be recorded), the patient is now in clinical remission as defined by a UPCR \<0.3 at the current visit regardless of any serologic activity. Relapse rates of lupus nephritis occurs in approximately one-third of patients.
- If no history of previous kidney disease, diagnosis of SLE within 5 years of the current visit, a positive anti-dsDNA and or low C3 or C4 levels, and current UPCR \<0.3. These parameters were chosen since the development of lupus nephritis is generally within the first years of SLE diagnosis,1-3 and often patients have serologic activity antedating clinical proteinuria.210
- Ownership of any mobile phone.
- Must be enrolled in SAMPLE Biorepository (s14-00487)
You may not qualify if:
- Unwillingness or inability of the patient to participate, or in the opinion of the investigator the patient does not understand the consent form or speaks a language other than English, Spanish, or Mandarin
- If the patient does not own a mobile phone
- Patient not enrolled in SAMPLE Biorepository (s14-00487)
