Core Tip |
Significant improvement has been made in the management of lupus nephritis, but 10%-30% of patients with proliferative renal involvement still progress to end stage renal disease, according to the severity of the disease and associated socioeconomic factors. Kidney transplantation has been recognized as the most appropriate treatment for those patients, but several issues remain after renal function restoration in a lupus recipient. This review provides insights into topics such as the frequency of lupus nephritis recurrence in the graft, the choice of immunosuppressive therapy in such cases and the management of comorbidities to reduce associated morbidities in the long term.
