They discuss Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ suite of innovative lupus testing, offered in collaboration with Progentec Diagnostics, for patients affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).\nTheir discussion includes:\nThe Progentec aiSLE® DX Lupus Flare Risk Index that uses an algorithm to calculate a flare risk index, which assigns a score based on a patient's risk of a forthcoming lupus flare.\nThe Progentec aiSLE® DX Lupus Disease Activity Index that characterizes a patient’s current disease activity into low, moderate, or active states.\nHow these two tests were developed and for whom they are recommended.\nWhy these tests are a significant development and how they enhance the quality of life for patients living with SLE.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jhRCftFebxnTMwoIbA_WoqrSKwFRD_Y2kbh0JDjhx14/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lYjNj/ZDc0NTE0MWNlOWRl/YzRiN2Q3NDg2Mjg5/YWE4MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
