For severe, active kidney inflammation, a stronger medication like cyclophosphamide (Endoxan) is generally preferred initially to quickly halt the damage, while azathioprine (Azoran) is typically used later to maintain recovery. Regarding plasma exchange, even at an advanced stage, it can still be very valuable. It works quickly to filter out harmful proteins causing the inflammation, potentially saving remaining kidney function. I highly recommend discussing these options closely with her nephrologist to tailor the best immediate plan for her.
