Core Tip	Lupus nephritis (LN) presents significant variability in clinical manifestations and treatment response. Although current treatments have markedly improved outcomes for patients with proliferative LN (PLN), a significant number of patients still progress gradually to end-stage kidney disease. There is still a lack of understanding about the factors that affect therapy non-response and the survival rates of patients with PLN, particularly from developing countries. This study aims to bridge these gaps, enhancing understanding of outcome disparities between developed and developing countries.
