More severe clinical manifestations in delayed-onset LN prompt strict monitoring of non-LN SLE patients to diagnose and treat kidney involvement early. Also, recognizing the higher frequency of autoantibodies such as anti-dsDNA or anti-Smith in delayed-onset LN underscores the potential value of autoantibody profiling as a diagnostic and prognostic tool.
