Abstract
Immunotherapy has been used for the treatment of renal diseases for a long time, and there has been significant progress in such treatment.

The use of immunosuppression in the treatment of minimal change disease, membranous nephropathy, primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, lupus nephritis, immunoglobulin-A nephropathy, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated disease, and anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is discussed.
