Abstract:
Active systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and lupus nephritis(LN)are often treated with corticosteroids combined with various immunosuppressives.For the critical patients the methylprednisolone plus intensive therapy should be also used on the basis of above-mentioned routine treatment in order to abort the severe activity of SLE/LN rapidly.In this paper the sorts,the routine and intensive therapeutic regimens,the side-effects and the treatment targets of corticosteroids will be reviewed in detail.
