Introduction
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a disease marked by autoantibodies against complement components. Autoantibodies against negative complement regulator factor H (anti-FH) are prevalent in aHUS, are associated with deletion of factor H-related protein 1 (FHR1) gene, and have overt functional consequences. They are also observed in C3 glomerulopathies. The frequency and relevance of anti-FH in LN are poorly studied.
Aim
The aim of our investigation was to screen for the presence of anti-FH and FHR1 gene deletion in a cohort of LN patients and to evaluate their association with LN activity.
Method
ELISA test and Western blot for detection of anti-FH and FHR1 deletion were used, respectively. Patients’ clinical and laboratory parameters regarding anti-FH role were processed by statistical analysis.
Results
Anti-FH were found at low level in a small number of LN patients – 11.7% (7/60) and were not associated with deletion of FHR1. Anti-FH did not correlate with ANA titers, anti-dsDNA, C3/C4 hypocomplementemia, eGFR, proteinuria, or active urinary sediment in LN patients. A weak correlation was found between anti-FH and anti-C3 levels. Anti-FH were linked with endocapillary proliferation and histological activity index. Four anti-FH positive patients had severe to moderate LN as per the BILAG renal score.
Conclusions
Anti-FH autoantibodies are an accessory finding in LN and are more likely to manifest during the active phase of the disease. Due to their low frequency and plasma levels, they do not seem suitable for routine laboratory investigation in patients with LN.

Background and objective
The safety profile of Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors has acquired attention due to post-marketing observed adverse drug reactions. The study focuses on the analysis of adverse reactions related to tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib in rheumatoid arthritis patients, including identifying predictive factors linked to their occurrence.
Patients and methods
Observational retrospective study. Adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis from a university hospital receiving JAK inhibitor treatment between September 2017 and January 2024 were included. The cumulative incidence of each adverse reaction was calculated using the Naranjo scale. Risk factors for developing adverse reactions were identified through logistic regression analyses.
Results
Two hundred twenty-three patients were included, with 28.7% presenting adverse reaction related to JAK inhibitor treatment. The adverse drug reactions with the highest cumulative incidence were infections and gastrointestinal disorders. Infections included: upper respiratory tract (4.5%), cellulitis (3.1%), urinary tract (2.7%), herpes zoster (1.8%). Gastrointestinal disorders comprised: abdominal pain (4.0%), diarrhea (3.6%), nausea and vomiting (3.6%), gastrointestinal perforation (1.3%), diverticulitis (0.9%). Classified at 0.5% were: headache, paresthesias, skin rash, severe neutropenia, insomnia, dyspnea, hypertensive crisis. As risk factors, were identified: the treatment with a non-selective JAK inhibitor (OR adjusted: 4.03; 95% CI: 1.15-14.10; P=.029) and older age (OR adjusted: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.00-1.05; P=.036).
Conclusions
Infections and gastrointestinal disorders represented the adverse reactions related to JAK inhibitor treatment with the highest cumulative incidence, with risk factors for their occurrence being non-selective JAK inhibitor treatment and older age of the patient.
