Why are Immunosuppressive Medications Used in Renal Disorders?
In renal disorders such as lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy, the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys, leading to inflammation and damage. In the context of kidney transplantation, the immune system may recognize the new kidney as foreign and attempt to reject it. Immunosuppressive medications help mitigate these immune responses, thereby preserving kidney function and improving patient outcomes.
