Association of soluble TREM-like transcript-1 with clinical features and patient reported outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus

Objective The soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1)-like transcript 1 (sTLT-1) has a modulatory effect on the activation of TREM-1. We compared plasma sTLT-1 levels between patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and healthy individuals and determined the association between sTLT-1 levels and clinical features and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among patients with lupus.
