Abstract:
Renal involvement is common in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Treatment of lupus nephritis includes immunosuppressive and supportive therapy.The intensity of immunosuppressive therapy depends on the clinical and renal pathological disease activity.The long-term targets of treatment are to prevent lupus nephritis relapse and protect renal function.Complete remission is the goal in the induction phase,and long-term treatment is necessary in the maintenance phase.Individualization therapy and the side effects of immunosuppressive agents should be paid more attention.
