Abstract
IN patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, renal involvement is considered a poor prognostic sign.1 2 3 4 5 Pollak et al.1 reported mean survival times of fourteen months for patients with lupus glomerulonephritis treated with low and twenty-six months for those treated with high doses of steroids – that is, more than 40 mg. of prednisone per day. They also noted shorter survival in azotemic patients as compared to those without renal failure. Few cases of lupus nephritis have been reported with prolonged survival. We therefore undertook a detailed evaluation of the renal status of patients with proved lupus nephritis of more than thirty . . .Keywords
