TLDR
In 1992, Piette and colleagues suggested that the ACR revised criteria be reevaluated in light of the above discoveries, and the presence and clinical associations or antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with SLE was suggested.
Abstract
In 1982, the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Criteria Committee of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)published revised criteria for the classification of systemiclupus erythematosus (SLE) (1). During the ensuing decade several investigators, including Drs. Graham Hughes and Donato Alarcon-Segovia, among others, have described the presence and clinical associations or antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with SLE, as well as the occurrence of theprimary antiphospholipid syndrome (2-5). In 1992, Piette and colleagues suggested that the ACR revised criteria be reevaluated in light of the above discoveries (6).

Overexpression of interleukin-12 and T helper 1 predominance in lupus nephritis

TL;DR: Both serum and urinary IL‐12 elevation reflect its glomerular production and parallel Th1 polarization of peripheral T cells and high IFN‐γ production in SLE patients, and may be predictive of the development of LN.

The 1000 Canadian faces of lupus: determinants of disease outcome in a large multiethnic cohort.

TL;DR: There are differences in lupus phenotypes between ethnic populations, and although ethnicity was not found to be a significant independent predictor of damage accrual, low income was.

Oral supplementation of turmeric decreases proteinuria, hematuria, and systolic blood pressure in patients suffering from relapsing or refractory lupus nephritis: a randomized and placebo-controlled study

TL;DR: Short-term turmeric supplementation can decrease proteinuria, hematuria, and systolic blood pressure in patients suffering from relapsing or refractory lupus nephritis and can be used as an adjuvant safe therapy for such patients.

Childhood systemic lupus erythematosus in Latin America. The GLADEL experience in 230 children.

TL;DR: In Latin America, childhood onset SLE seems to be a more severe disease than adults, and some differences can be detected among ethnic groups.

The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification and showed gains in sensitivity and specificity.

Anticardiolipin antibodies: detection by radioimmunoassay and association with thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus

TL;DR: A new solid-phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of anticardiolipin antibodies is 200-400 times more sensitive than the precipitation method used in the Venereal Disease Reference Laboratory test and appears to have predictive value for thrombosis in SLE and related disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The "primary" antiphospholipid syndrome: major clinical and serological features.

TL;DR: The group of patients presented appears to be closely related, but distinctly separate from SLE, with a history of deep vein thromboses and a family history of SLE or a familial clotting tendency in a minority.

Evaluation of the anti-cardiolipin antibody test: report of an international workshop held 4 April 1986.

TL;DR: This study shows that properly performed ELISA or SRIA assays can be used to provide an accurate, reproducible, and quantitative measure of IgG and IgM aCL concentration in serum samples.
