Summary

This study looks at whether doing a repeat kidney biopsy one year after starting treatment for lupus nephritis helps doctors make better treatment decisions. About 206 people with a first episode of lupus nephritis will be randomly assigned to either get the repeat biopsy or not. The goal is to see if those who get the biopsy have better kidney function and fewer relapses over the next few years.
