Steroid Use for the Treatment of Lupus Nephritis

Steroid Use for the Treatment of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus nephritis, affecting nearly half of lupus patients, can cause severe kidney damage. Traditionally, high-dose glucocorticoids (~1 mg per kg prednisone) have been used despite significant side effects. In this episode, host Anna Wolska speaks with Dr. Amit Saxena, a rheumatologist and Associate Professor at NYU Langone Health, about his recent research on the use of glucocorticoids in treating kidney disease in lupus. His study pooled standard-of-care arms from several major clinical trials to compare the efficacy and safety of lower versus higher oral glucocorticoid doses—administered after an initial IV steroid pulse—in treating lupus nephritis.
