Elevating Care in LN: What the New ACR Guidelines Mean for Patients & How APPs can Apply Them

In this essential episode of RhAPPcast, the official podcast of Rheumatology Advanced Practice Providers, host Amanda Mixon, PA-C, is joined by lupus expert and RhAPP faculty member Monica Richey, NP, to discuss the latest ACR guidelines for lupus nephritis and what they mean for advanced practice providers (APPs). Together, they explore how these updated recommendations mark a significant shift in treatment—highlighting triple immunosuppressive therapy as a first-line approach and placing greater emphasis on early diagnosis, kidney preservation, and minimizing steroid exposure. Monica shares her real-world strategies for implementing guideline-driven care, including when to order a kidney biopsy, how to manage insurance and medication barriers, and ways to educate and engage patients in shared decision-making. Whether you're managing complex lupus cases or simply looking to stay up to date on best practices, this episode offers practical tips and clinical pearls to help you deliver timely, effective, and patient-centered care.
