Two cheap blood markers may spot lupus activity early
NCT ID NCT07043153
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether two simple blood markers—albumin-to-globulin ratio and prognostic nutritional index—can help predict disease activity in people with lupus. Researchers will measure these markers in 200 participants and compare them with standard disease activity scores. The goal is to create a non-invasive, low-cost tool to monitor lupus without frequent clinic visits.
