Abstract
The paper presents the main provisions of the updated 2019 EULAR/ERA-EDTA guidelines for the lupus nephritis (LN) therapy, which have been prepared by an international group of rheumatologists, nephrologists, morphologists, and pediatricians. Part 2 of the article discusses additional therapy, monitoring, and prognosis for LN, and the management of patients with end-stage renal failure and antiphospholipid syndrome. Attention is paid to the problem of LN and pregnancy, as well as to the management of pediatric patients with kidney damage.
