This study evaluated the association of the Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) and the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) with disease activity in children with LN. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 52 children with LN aged 1 month to 18 years treated at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Indonesia, were included. SIRI and SII were calculated from complete blood counts, and disease activity was assessed using the Mexican Modification of the SLE Disease Activity Index (Mex-SLEDAI). Correlations were analyzed using Spearman\u2019s test. Results: Median SIRI and SII values were 1511 and 789,544, respectively, with a median Mex-SLEDAI score of 7. SIRI showed a moderate positive correlation with disease activity (r = 0.443; p &lt; 0.001), and SII also showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.390; p = 0.004). Both indices increased with higher LN activity. Conclusions: SIRI and SII were significantly associated with disease activity in pediatric LN, with SIRI yielding a numerically higher correlation coefficient, though this difference was not formally compared. These indices may serve as simple, non-invasive biomarkers for assessing inflammatory activity in children with lupus nephritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children13040530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]],"date-time":"2026-04-13T10:19:14Z","timestamp":1776075554000},"page":"530","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Correlation Between Systemic Inflammation Response Index and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index and Disease Activity of Lupus Nephritis in Children"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Desi","family":"Mutiarati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8372-8456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gartika","family":"Sapartini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sri Endah","family":"Rahayuningsih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dany","family":"Hilmanto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eddy","family":"Fadlyana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dedi","family":"Rachmadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung 40161, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"700","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2005.11.034","article-title":"Long-term prognosis and causes of death in systemic lupus erythematosus","volume":"119","author":"Doria","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am.
