The natural course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by periods of disease activity and remissions. Prolonged disease activity results in cumulative organ damage. Lupus nephritis is one of the most common and devastating manifestations of SLE. In the era of changing therapy to less toxic regimens, some authors have stated that if mycophenolate mofetil can be used for the induction and maintenance treatment in all histological classes of lupus nephritis, renal biopsy can be omitted. This article aims to answer the question of what brings the bigger risk: renal biopsy or its abandonment.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)的自然病程特点是疾病活动期与缓解期交替出现。疾病活动期延长会导致累积性器官损害。狼疮性肾炎是SLE最常见且最具破坏性的表现之一。在治疗方案向毒性较小的方案转变的时代,一些作者指出,如果霉酚酸酯可用于所有组织学类型狼疮性肾炎的诱导和维持治疗,那么肾活检可以省略。本文旨在回答哪个带来的风险更大的问题:肾活检还是不进行肾活检。
