Abstract: Recently, great advances have been made in the treatment of lupus nephritis (LN). In 2012, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) published their respective recommendations and guidelines of LN treatment. From 2013, there have been a lot of novel credible results of clinical trials on LN treatment, which were updating rheumatologists' opinions. In this article, the authors analyzed the two classic recommendations and summarized the recent progresses in order to provide references for clinical treatment of LN.
