Abstract
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lupus nephritis activity and chronicity indices, which comprise six activity scores and four chronicity scores, have a long development history. The 2018 revised International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) classification for lupus nephritis adopted the most recent NIH indices to replace subclasses A, C, and A/C. Although an evidence-based approach should further evaluate the clinical significance of the modified NIH indices, recent validation studies demonstrated that the modified chronicity indices have a strong correlation with kidney outcome of lupus nephritis.
