Lupus nephritis is a common and severe manifestation of systemic lupus
erythematosus that disproportionately affects nonwhites and those in lower
socioeconomic groups. This review discusses recent data on the incidence,
prevalence, and outcomes of patients with lupus nephritis with a focus on
low-income US Medicaid patients. We also review recent guidelines on diagnosis,
treatment, and screening for new onset and relapses of lupus nephritis. Finally,
we discuss the management of lupus nephritis from a rheumatologist's perspective,
including vigilance for the common adverse events related to disease and
treatment, and we review prevention and new treatment strategies.
