Hello! She is taking drugs which will improve kidney function. These drugs are probably corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications. But, if lupus nephritis damaged her kidneys too much, maybe she goes to dialysis, too. In some cases of this disease, patients need kidneys transplantation, too. Hope this answer helps you a little bit.
