Role of [68Ga]-pentixafor positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in assessing disease activity in patients with lupus nephritis: A pilot study.
Ahalya NairNandini PanditChengappa Kavadichanda GanapathyPublished in: Lupus (2023)
68Ga-pentixafor PET is not a suitable imaging modality for assessment of disease activity in lupus nephritis patients. There is a void in non-invasive testing for patients with this chronic and often disabling condition which calls for further research in this area.
