To evaluate whether continuing rheumatology follow-up visits and immunosuppressive therapy after starting renal replacement were associated with increased survival in lupus patients with end stage renal failure. We identified all lupus patients over 21 years old who started renal replacement therapy between 2005 and 2011 at an urban tertiary care center. Mortality data was obtained using in-hospital records and the Social Security Death Index database. We identified 80 lupus patients on renal replacement therapy. Twenty two patients (28%) were followed in rheumatology clinics frequently (2 or more visits per year) after starting renal replacement therapy, and 58 patients (72%) were followed infrequently (fewer than 2 visits per year). Survival rates were significantly higher in transplant patients compared with dialysis patients. However, SLE patients followed frequently after starting dialysis had significantly higher 4-year survival rates compared with patients followed infrequently after starting dialysis, log rank p = 0.03. Furthermore, in the Cox proportional hazards model, treatment with prednisone alone or with no medication was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) of death of 6.1, 95% CI (1.1, 34), p = 0.04, and HR 13, 95% CI (1.5, 106), p = 0.02, respectively, compared with patients treated with a combination of immunosuppressive therapy with or without prednisone, adjusted for age at SLE diagnosis, gender, transplant status and the frequency of rheumatology visits after the development of end stage renal failure. Active disease in lupus patients on renal replacement therapy may be under-recognized and under-treated, leading to increased mortality.
