Lupus nephritis to be cured by a FDA approved drug

For the first time in 50 years, there is a medication that has been a medication that has been approved by FDA (Food And Drug Administration) for treating Lupus Nephritis. This kidney disorder is a form of systemic lupus systemic lupus erythematosus. Here the immune system is attacked as it is affected.

Till this time, the medications were not being approved as they used to restrain the functions of immune system. When the immune system was affected, it indirectly made the patients suffer from other worse health problems owing to heir weak immunity.

Benlysta was the injectable drug that could cure the disorder without lowering the immunity as it would only try to combat the hyperactive immune system. This is what Dr. Mary Anne Dooley from the University of North Carolina said supporting the FDA approval. However FDA feels that it has not been very beneficial for African Americans and is further into research and studying about this to find a proper medication to cure this disorder in them that might be effectual for them.

Till this time it has been difficult to diagnose and correct this disorder. So, with the innovation of this medication, it has been possible for those suffering from Lupus Nephritis as till this time there was no right medication that could cure it without affecting the body with its adverse effects. Now there is a ray of hope can be seen in those patients who have been desperately and in their diseased condition waiting for a remedy.
