Abstract Background: In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), disease activity can persist even after initiating dialysis. However, guidelines for the treatment of patients with SLE after dialysis is initiated have not yet been established. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 62-year-old Japanese woman who was diagnosed with SLE at age 12, progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and initiated hemodialysis for lupus nephritis. However, SLE activity persisted after hemodialysis. Cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil were administered in addition to prednisolone and immunoadsorption, but this treatment strategy was limited by side effects. The patient was subsequently treated with belimumab, and the activity of SLE decreased rapidly. Conclusions: ESRD patients with SLE show no significant decrease in transitional B cells, and have elevated levels of B-cell activating factor (BAFF). Both transitional B cells and BAFF are important therapeutic targets for belimumab, indicating that patients with ESRD may benefit from belimumab therapy. However, the effects of belimumab may be potentiated in patients with uremia, who may be more susceptible to adverse events such as infections. Patients with SLE who receive belimumab after initiation of hemodialysis therefore require careful follow-up. Here we report the first case of belimumab administration in a patient with SLE after initiation of hemodialysis.

Objectives Arteriovenous fistulas primary patency at one-year occurs in 43–85% of the patients with end-stage renal disease. The diagnosis attributable to end-stage renal disease has been suggested to impact arteriovenous fistulas outcomes. The objective was to compare primary patency at one week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-ups, among systemic lupus erythematosus patients and two control groups; additionally, we evaluated the impact of systemic lupus erythematosus to predict early patency loss. Methods A retrospective review of charts from arteriovenous fistulas created between 2008 and 2017 was performed. One-hundred thirty-four patients were identified and classified according to end-stage renal disease attributable diagnosis as: systemic lupus erythematosus cases ( N = 14), control-group-1 (91 patients with primarily diabetes and hypertension), and control-group-2 (29 patients with idiopathic end-stage renal disease). A case–control matched design (1:2:1) was proposed. Logistic regression analysis and Kaplan–Meier curves were used. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. Results More systemic lupus erythematosus patients lost primary patency at 3 (28.6%) and 12 months (71.4%) than patients from control-groups-1 (vs. 3.6% and 35.7%, respectively) and -2 (vs. 0% and 14.3%, respectively), ( p ≤ 0.011 for both). Days of primary patency survival were shorter in systemic lupus erythematosus patients ( p = 0.003). Systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis was the only factor associated with early patency loss, HR: 3.141, 95%CI: 1.161–8.493 (systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis vs. control-group-1) and HR: 12.582, 95%CI: 1.582–100.035 (systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis vs. control-group-2). Conclusions Diagnosis attributable to end-stage renal disease has a major impact on arteriovenous fistula outcomes in patients. Systemic lupus erythematosus patients have an increased risk of arteriovenous fistulas patency loss within the first six months of follow-up. Patients with idiopathic end-stage renal disease had an excellent one year arteriovenous fistula patency survival.
