The necessary of study Systemic lupus erythematosus is the first autoimmune disease was described, which characterized by heterogeneous, multisystem involvement and the production of an array of autoantibodies. There is no gold standard test for the diagnosis of SLE. The first classification criteria for SLE were developed by the Ameriacan Rheumatism Association in 1971. The revised criteria for the classification of SLE were published in 1982 and last time in 1997. In 2012 the Systemic International Collaborating Clinics group to further revise the ACR classification criteria. SLE can affect almost any organ and display a broad spectrum of manifestations. Renal involvement in SLE remains the strongest predictor of overall patient morbidity and mortality.The presence of autoantibodies against a variety of ubiquitous selfantigens is a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus. Mechanism of autoantibody production would require a thorough inderstanding of the loss of selftolerance in both T and B cells Management of lupus nephritis has always been of interest to studys around the world and there have been numerous randomized clinical trials that classify and evaluate the role of immunosuppressant drugs in the treatment of lupus nephritis Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a new immunosuppressant, has the ability to inhibit differentiation of both T and B Lymphocytes. There are numerous randomized clinical trials assessing the role of MMF in the treatment of lupus nephritis. Recently guideline for lupus nephrits worldwide as well as in Vietnam, have agreed to the indication of MMF for the treatment of lupus nephritis. In Vietnam currently no study to assess the effectiveness and immune modification of MMF in treating lupus nephritis Therefore, we conducted the dissertation “Study on the immune modification and effectiveness of treatment in patients with lupus nephritis after induction treatment with Mycophenolate mofetil” for 2 purposes: Investigation of clinical changes, paraclinincal and some immune modifications in patients with lupus nephritis after induction therapy was indicated Mycophenolate mofetil Assess the effectiveness of Mycophenolate mofetil in induction therapy in patients with lupus nephritis and the relationship with immune modifications 2. Summary of new main scientific contribution of the dissertation The first study to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and immune modification in adult patients with lupus nephritis, who were treated with the protocol have MMF. The results of this study can be used to compare with national and international studies The first study at the Allergy Center MDLS Bach Mai Hospital performed the kidney biopsy to select patients indicate to MMF treatment according to histopathological results of kidney biopsy. This study is a prelude to the decision on kidney biopsy in patients with lupus nephritis and become the routine at the Center before deciding on treatment The results of study show that the patients with lupus nephritis receiving the protocol have MMF has a high response to treatment The study provides additional information for clinicians who have additional treatment options for patients with lupus nephritis, especially among patients of childbearing age due to limitations of CYC therapy. There is a high risk of ovarian failure and a sequela unable to have children in the future 3.

The diagnosis of SLE and lupus neprhtis 1.1. The diagnosis of SLE SLE is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease that damages many organ systems. Until now did not have hallmark for diagnose of SLE, so diagnosis was based on the many of criteria. Because of this, classification criteria for SLE were developed by the Ameriacan Rheumatism Association in 1971 and revised in 1982 and 1997 to fix some limitations of old classification. The Systemic International Collaborating Clinics group to further revise the ACR classification criteria with 11 clinical criterias and 6 immune criterias Definition of diagnosis SLE base on ACR 1997 The patients were diagnosed SLE if they have any 4 or more of the 11 criteria are present When tested this SLE criteria in patient population, sensitivity and specificity to the SLE patients was 96% Definition of diagnosis SLE base on SLICC 2012 The patients were diagnosed SLE if they have any 4 or more of the 17 criteria are present but at least 1 clinical criteria and 1 immune criteria or have evidence of lupus nephritis in biopsy with positive to ANA or dsDNA 1.2. Definition of lupus nephritis Patient with lupus nephritis were diagnosed by ACR • Patient were diagnosed SLE by ACR 1997 • Patient have persistent proteinuria > 0,5g per day or greater than 3+ by dipstick, and/or cellular casts including red cell, hemoglobin, granular, tubular or mixed • Patient were renal biopsy demonstrating immune complexmediated glomerulonephritis compatible lupus nephritis 2. Pathogenesis of lupus nephritis Renal disease ranks as the foremost cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus Yet, the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis has not been fully elucidated. Numerous mediators and mechanisms have been suggested as drivers of the disease. These include dysregulation of the innate immune system, proinflammatory cytokine overproduction, impaired B and Tcell tolerance/regulation, as well as increased expression of various chemokines and other regulators. Experiments, mostly based on lupusprone mouse models, suggest that the steps and events leading to the development of SLE can be parsed into two phases: systemic autoimmunity and target organ injury The systemic autoimmune response: SLE is characterized by the activation of selfreactive B cells and T cells, largely directed to nuclear antigens The consequence of this lymphocyte activation is the elaboration of antiDNA autoantibodies, one of the hallmarks of this disease. In addition to activation of the adaptive arm of the immune system, cells in the innate arm of the immune system, including dendritic cells and macrophages, are also activated in this disease The phage target organ inury: Although several different end organs can be targeted in SLE, the pathogenic events leading to disease are fairly similar, involving both infiltrating leukocytes as well as resident nonimmune cells Briefly, the deposition of autoantibodies and immune complexes in the kidneys can initiate tissue injury, followed by recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes into the kidneys. Cytokines, chemokines, and various mediators released by the infiltrating leukocytes as well as resident renal cells can lead to a vicious cycle of inflammation, leading to acute, then chronic tissue injury. 2.1. The role of autoantibodies The role of antinuclear antibodies –ANA and nucleosome in lupus nephritis The presence of autoantibodies directed against several nuclear and cytoplasmic antigens is a hallmark of SLE. The nucleosome is the fundamental packing unit of DNA, playing a key role in controlling the expression of genetic information by regulating access to certain proteins. It is believed to be a major autoantigen in SLE. Hence, nucleosome and antinucleosome antibodies can contribute to the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis in a wide variety of ways. The role of antiDNA antibodies and immune complexes in lupus nephritis The firsttime role of antidsDNA in SLE was described in 1957 and then in lupus nephritis AntiDNA antibodies emerge as a key diagnostic and prognostic marker, being actively involved in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis owing to their ability to bind to cell surface antigens or components of the glomerular matrix either directly (crossreactivity) or indirectly (via chromatincontaining bridges) Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain the ability of antidsDNA antibodies to localize to the kidney. The first mechanism is based on the formation of immune complexes, where antiDNA antibodies form complexes with DNA/nucleosomes released from apoptotic cells, and these immune complexes can deposit in the kidney and drive downstream inflammatory cascades. The second mechanism, referred to as the planted antigen hypothesis, suggests that antiDNA antibodies can directly target the kidney by reacting with DNA/nucleosomes trapped in the glomerular matrix. The trapping of DNA/nucleosomes in the glomerular matrix and the GBM has been attributed to interactions between the positively charged histone DNA and negatively charged glomerular matrix The third mechanism relies on the crossreactivity between intrinsic nonDNA glomerular antigens and antiDNA antibodies. Laminin, heparan sulfate, as well as collagen type IVof GBM, alphaactinin and ribosomal P protein of mesangial cells, and ribosomal P protein of endothelial cells, are all potential nonDNA autoantigens that can be recognized by antiDNA antibodies in intrinsic kidney cells 2.2. The role of complemt system The complement system is a humoral component of the natural immune system that contains about 30 proteins, which exist in two forms that circulate in the blood and form adhesions on cell membranes. Although activation of the complementary system causes damage to tissues and organs, studies in mice and later on SLE patients suggest that deficiencies of complement components follow the classical pathway such as C1q, C1r, C2 and C4 easily lead to SLE. C1q resistance is both specific and sensitive in SLE. In invitro studies it has been shown that resistance to C1q acts as a coupling for the combination of autoantibodies with complement and complement complexes, leading to increased lupus nephritis lesions. C1q resistance is strongly associated with lupus kidney damage due to glomerular deposition 2.3. The role of immune cells The role of Lymphocyte T: T cells also play a key role in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. The role that T cells play in driving the systemic autoimmunity in lupuscell lymphocytes are more common than Blymphocytes when lymphocytic infiltrates are detected on renal biopsy specimens, including TCD4 + and TCD8 + lymphocytes. Research on these cells has been difficult due to limited kidney biopsy samples Several studies show that TCD4 + lymphocytes in lupus nephritis are inclined to the Th1 phenotype, especially in patients with proliferative nephritis, but these findings have not been widely accepted The role of Lymphocyte B: Both B and plasma cells are found in the kidneys of patients with lupus nephritis. Research in mice shows that inflamed tissue becomes the home of plasma cells. Analysis of the Ig receptors of B lymphocytes isolated from the kidney tissue biopsy piece of lupus patients showed evidence of monoclonal development, indicating that the immune response occurs locally, these findings Together with evidence of monoclonal T lymphocyte development, further support the hypothesis that the renal antigen that controls the local immune response may amplify kidney tissue damage The role of Macrophages: Macrophages are key cellular determinants of pathogenesis and progression in lupus nephritis Their recruitment has been documented in both lupusprone mice and lupus nephritis patients Recruited macrophages are located in both the glomerular tuft and tubulointerstitium and constitute the major cell type in glomerular crescents. Importantly, renal infiltrating macrophages are mainly activated type II macrophages. Macrophages can product a lot of cytokine such as interleukin 1, 6, 12, 23 and proinflammation like iNOS, ROS 3. Characteristic of histapathological of lupus nephritis Renal biopsy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with lupus kidney damage, most of the components of the kidney are damaged in lupus such as glomeruli, kidney tubules, and kidney vessels. Lupus nephritis has complex clinical manifestations as well as histopathological lesions that vary greatly from patient to patient and stage of the disease Because of this, the WHO has proposed and introduced a classification of lupus kidney damage based on histopathological histology of kidney biopsy in 1982 and updated in 1995, this standard is now adopted by the International Nephrology Association/ Association of Diseases. The International Society of Nephrology / Renal Pathology Society (ISN/ 10 RPS) was updated in May 2003 and classification of renal damage into six different groups 4. Treatment of SLE and lupus nephritis 4.1. The treatment of SLE SLE is a complex pathology, damage of many organ systems, and at different times, lesions of varying degrees, with varying degrees of severity. Therefore, there is no uniform formula for the treatment of a patient The European Union Against Rheumatism (EULAR), for the first time, made a recommendation for treatment of SLE in 2008 and was updated in 2019. Following this guide, SLE patients are treated based on disease activity level and target organ damage. Treatment drugs include: Glucocorticoid(GC), Hydroxycloroquine (HCQ), Methotrexate (MTX), Cyclosporine A (CsA), Cycophosphamide (CYC), Azathioprine (AZA), MMF, biologics 4.2. The treatment of lupus nephritis The ultimate goal of treating lupus nephritis is to improve the quality of life of the patient as well as to improve the patient's survival. After decades of multicenter clinical trial studies have been conducted with various drugs to find the best treatment strategy for patients. Treatment of lupus nephritis is based on different severity, with or without histopathological classification, and is divided into two stages of induction and maintenance treatment 4.2.1.Induction therapy for lupus nephritiss Protocol of therapy for lupus nephritis by Vietnam Ministry of Health published 2015 Protocol for patients with renal biopsy: Patients with class I and II lupus nephritis be treated as dictated by the extrarenal clinical manifestations of lupus. Class III is mild to treat nonrenal manifestations, severe be treated as classe IV. Class IV, V be treated with immunosuppressants can choose the following drugs: Prednislone, Cyclophosphamide, Methylprednison pulse dose, AzA, CsA, MMF, Rituximab, Plasma exchange Class VI is not indicated for immunosuppressant therapy, alternative treatment such as dialysis, kidney transplantation Protocol for patients without renal biopsy: Patients with clinical symptoms of lupus nephritis but only minor urine disorders: proteinuria less than 1g/24 hours, no erythrocytes or erythrocytes less, treatment mainly extrarenal clinical manifestations of 16 In both groups of patients evaluated, patients with lupus nephritis have diverse damage of organ tissue, accounting for the highest proportion are arthritis lesions, hematological disorders and serositis 1.2.
