Abstract:
Objective In order to investigate the reversibility of uremia in patients with lupus nephritis(LN). Methods 37 uremic patients with IN who underwent dialysis were treated with a progressive protocol of combined glucocorticoid and cyclophosphamide (CTX) during the last 15 years. Results 83.8% of patients withdrawed from dialysis, with an average withdrawal period of 40.6 ?21.5 months, and with serum creatinine of 179.36 ?88.24 fjiaoVL at least half year after the withdrawal. Conclusion Uremic patients with LN who should be dialysed are not necessarily in end stage of their renal diseases, and those who are indicated for immunosuppressants and probable to be reversed should be treated properly and promptly.
