Lupus nephritis (LN) is a form of glomerulonephritis that constitutes one of the most severe organ manifestations of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Anders. LN was related to fibrosis in the kidney. As an important marker in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, TNF‐like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) has been given much attention concerning its role in regulating the pro‐inflammatory immune response, dysregulated expression of TWEAK, Fn14 has been reported in SLE, LN patients and in vivo, in vitro studies have discussed the significant role of TWEAK‐Fn14 axis in SLE. In this review, we will discuss the association of the TWEAKFn14 axis in lupus.
