As for Lupus patients, the treatment is different according to different
individual body condition and illness condition. However, no matter what kind of
treatment is taken, the aim is the same that is to inactivate lupus factor and
relieve the pain brought by this disease. The treatment for Lupus Nephritis
should be based on patient’s clinical symptoms, library results and renal biopsy
results. Traditionally, the following methods are commonly adopted during
clinical treatment.
As for patients with light SLE but with immunoserology abnormality, NSAID
medicine can be taken to relieve the clinical symptoms if their urine test
results is normal and glomeruli is normal or only have slight damage under
biopsy results. In this case, glucocorticoid or cytotoxic agents is not commonly
used, but regular and close observation on the illness condition is necessary.
If the urine test results is not normal, and glomeruli focal segmental membrane
proliferation as well as segmental necrosis and crescent can be found by renal
biopsy, glucocorticoid in small or middle dosage can be taken and cytotoxic
agents can also be taken rationally.
For patients with serious SLE accompanied by acute nephritis syndrome or
progressive nephritis syndrome, standard hormone treatment as well as CTX or
Methylprednisolone should be taken if diffusive proliferative glomerulonephritis
or crescentic glomerulonephritis, accompanying with kidney function progressive
decline can be found. If the above method is not so effective, plasmapheresis
should be considered. If acute renal failure or hear failure occur, dialysis is
necessary for patients to save their life.
Immunoadsorption is a good method to for Lupus Nephritis patients, which can
also relieve related symptoms effectively. According to different individual
