Kidney Transplantation in Lupus Nephritis: Can We Do Even Better?

Jorge and colleagues examined data from 1995 to 2014 to assess outcomes of patients with lupus nephritis who initiated dialysis and were placed on the waitlist for a kidney transplant. The editorialists discuss the findings in light of slow progress in the treatment of lupus nephritis. Given higher patient and allograft survival with both preemptive and early kidney transplant, it is essential that transplant be considered as promptly as possible for patients with lupus nephritis.
