An attempt to interrupt immunosuppressive therapy completely was made in 73 of 161 patients (45%) with lupus nephritis. The participants (class 3, 4, or 5 at kidney biopsy) had to be in stable and complete kidney remission. Immunosuppressive drugs were slowly tapered off, and patients were followed for a mean period of 286 (183–312) months.
