Renal transplantation in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Patients with end-stage renal disease secondary to SLE with or without preceding nonrenal disease manifestations, should have dialysis and/or transplantation offered to them. There is no increased risk of allograft rejection. Neither does there appear to be excessive risk of recrudescence of SLE disease activity.
