Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Launches New Lupus Nephritis Disease Awareness Program
Thursday, February 15, 2018
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the global immunology market, today announced that it has launched ALL INTM, an educational program for people living with lupus nephritis (LN). ALL IN is designed to raise awareness for LN and to support members of the LN community.
LN in an inflammation of the kidney caused by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and represents a serious progression of SLE. Though approximately three out of every five people with lupus will go on to develop LN, many people living with lupus are less familiar with LN and have a number of questions about how to manage their disease once it affects the kidneys.
“As the leader of a national patient-led organization, I commend Aurinia for having the vision to elevate awareness for lupus nephritis, one of many potential manifestations of SLE that is often misunderstood by those affected. Aurinia’s dedication to educate and empower individuals and loved ones impacted by lupus nephritis by providing essential information, resources and support, is commensurate with our mission to improve quality of life,” stated Kathleen A. Arntsen, President and CEO, Lupus and Allied Diseases Association.
ALLINforLupusNephritis.com, the first component of the ALL IN program, is a website that features educational information about LN, downloadable resources, helpful links, and personal stories and insights shared by people affected by LN. Visitors to the ALL IN website also have the opportunity to receive ongoing news and updates.
“We are committed to serving the needs of people with LN and their families, and upon receiving extensive feedback from members of the community, we conceptualized and built the ALL IN program—a centralized place where those affected by LN can access pertinent and timely information related to their condition,” said Brad Dickerson, General Manager, Americas.
