NGAL holds promise as a versatile biomarker in SLE whereas urine ALCAM, CD163 and
VCAM-1 displayed good performance as biomarkers in LN. The overall lack of concerted
corroboration of leading candidates across multiple cohorts and diverse populations leaves
the current biomarker landscape in SLE in an urgent need for further survey and systematic
validation.
