It isn't used for kidney disease - there are several other agents for that particular sort of lupus.

It is reckoned to help slow down the general disease process, thus making the need for stronger drugs less likely, with luck, but once organ damage of any sort has started stronger drugs are needed, often added to the Plaquenil.

Good Luck
