Treatment (or management) of nephritis depends on what has provoked the inflammation of the kidney(s). In the case of lupus nephritis, [[hydroxychloroquine]] could be used.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hydroxychloroquine: MedlinePlus Drug Information|url=https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601240.html|website=medlineplus.gov|access-date=23 July 2016}}</ref>

===Prevalence===
Nephritis represents the ninth-most-common cause of death among all women in the US (and the fifth leading cause among non-[[Hispanic]] black women).<ref>{{Cite web|title = Leading Causes of Death - Women's Health USA 2010|url = http://mchb.hrsa.gov/whusa10/hstat/hi/pages/208lcd.html|website = mchb.hrsa.gov|access-date = 2015-06-14}}</ref>

Worldwide, the highest rates{{clarify|date=June 2015}} of nephritis are 50–55% for African or Asian descent followed by Hispanic at 43% and [[White people|Caucasian]] at 17%.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Clinical Decisions in Nephrology, Hypertension and Kidney Transplantation|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=buSjLdvrwXYC&pg=PA562 |publisher = Springer Science & Business Media|date = 2012-10-28|isbn = 9781461444541|language = en|first1 = Edgar|last1 = Lerma|first2 = Mitchell|last2 = Rosner}}</ref>

The average age of an individual diagnosed with kidney inflammation (in this case, lupus nephritis) is 28.4 years old.<ref>{{Cite |date=2018-04-22|title=Lupus Nephritis: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology|url=https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/330369-overview#showall}}</ref>
