Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus two years ago. In these two years, I have been taking medication regularly and doing my best to control the condition. However, blood in the urine and protein in the urine reappeared half a month ago. The doctor said it is lupus nephritis of the second-grade neuron. What should I do about lupus nephritis?Doctor's answer:
Lupus nephritis is a relatively common complication of lupus that tends to recur. Generally, treatment involves blood and urine tests, a kidney MRI, immunosuppressants, and kidney-protecting medications. It is recommended to seek follow-up care at the rheumatology and immunology department of the hospital. The doctor will tailor the appropriate treatment methods and medications based on your condition and test results. It is important to maintain a positive attitude and actively cooperate with your doctor's treatment.
