    The study reevaluates serum levels of APRIL, BAFF, and IL-10 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

  • 2

    The corrected data indicates that 41.7% of lupus nephritis patients were diagnosed via renal biopsy.

  • 3

    Only two patients were receiving immunosuppressive therapies other than hydroxychloroquine at enrollment.

  • 4

    No significant differences in cytokine levels were found between SLE patients with and without prior cyclophosphamide treatment.

  • 5

    The findings suggest limited roles for APRIL, BAFF, and IL-10 as biomarkers for SLE disease activity and flare prediction.
