What are the good methods for treating lupus nephritis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my uncle is 56 years old, male, and was recently diagnosed with lupus nephritis. Watching him suffer every day and having to take medication constantly has nearly drained our family's resources. He keeps asking us for money for treatment, but it's not very effective. Do you have any good methods for treating lupus nephritis?

Doctor's answer:

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a relatively serious condition. This occurs because the body produces various different autoantibodies based on antinuclear antibodies. These autoantibodies trigger autoimmune inflammatory responses, which can harm various organs in the body. Therefore, for such a disease, the primary focus is on the severity of the patient's condition. The majority of patients require the use of hormones or the combination of hormones with immunosuppressants to suppress its activity.
