Summary
This study looked at 100 adults with lupus nephritis (a kidney inflammation caused by lupus) who had been in stable remission for at least 2 years. Researchers wanted to see if it was safe to stop their maintenance immunosuppressive drugs, while continuing hydroxychloroquine and possibly low-dose steroids. The goal was to find out whether stopping these drugs would increase the risk of a kidney flare-up compared to staying on them.
