PRTN3 and lupus nephritis: Four individuals were positive for anti-proteinase 3 (PR3) antibody, three of whom were strongly positive with renal involvement defined by an elevated creatinine with two having biopsy-proven lupus nephritis. The level of anti-dsDNA antibody and anti-PR3 antibody normalized at three months while anti-MPO antibody took 12 months to normalize following cessation of hydralazine.
