How is lupus with kidney involvement treated?

How you are treated for lupus with kidney involvement depends on your specific case. Some things that your doctor may try are:

  • Steroid drugs to decrease inflammation
  • Medication to lower your blood pressure
  • Drugs that control your immune system so that it does not attack your cells and tissues

Another option for treatment is to evaluate new investigational drugs in addition to other medications that are normally used to treat lupus nephritis.
