Lupus nephritis?

My Boyfriend is suffering from lupus nephritis, may I know is this syptom can cure and is this syptom will eventually lead to Kidney
failure ? I am so scare.... please help me!

Lupus cannot be cured, its a disease which it can only be controlled by medications such as prednisone, cellcepts and etc These medications are steriods and also used for transplant patients for anti rejection.

Lupus is an auto immune disease, with lupus nephritis, the SLE attacks the kidney. Your boyfriend needs to take his medications routinely and also avoid sun exposure and avoid stress. I also have lupus nephritis, lupus nephritis can lead to kidney failure. It all depending on the activity of the lupus therefor your b/f needs to regurally see his doctor and be aware of the lupus activity. He also needs to eat healthy and exercise. Don't worry lupus is a treatable disease.

With kidney failure, hemodialysis is the treatment option and another options is kidney transplant. However your Bf's lupus might be mild, kidney failure happens when the lupus becomes severe.
