Treatment of Lupus Nephritis
If you're diagnosed with lupus nephritis, your treatment will focus on improving your kidney function. There are a few options available, and most likely your treatment will be individualized based on the severity and other factors of your disease. Some treatments include:

Medications. Treatment starts with medications to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation in the kidneys. Corticosteroids or immunosuppressives are used for this. Diuretics can be used to eliminate excess fluid and reduce swelling.

Maintaining a healthy blood pressure. Blood pressure medications, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), may be prescribed.

Changes to your diet. You may be instructed to reduce salt (sodium) from your diet.

The good news is that, for most people, treatment for lupus nephritis is highly effective.
