Core Tip Although current lupus nephritis (LN) classifications focus mainly on glomerular lesions, tubulointerstitial involvement is frequent and clinically relevant. In this Saudi cohort, the presence of combined tubulointerstitial inflammation and damage was associated with proliferative disease, higher activity and chronicity scores, and poorer renal outcomes. These patients achieved remission more slowly and less often during follow-up. Baseline kidney function, systemic inflammation, and selected histologic features further influenced prognosis. Detailed assessment of the tubulointerstitial compartment may therefore add meaningful prognostic information in LN.
