The doctor will most probably prescribe some oral immunosuppressive drugs. They include cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids. Mostly, these two categories exist to empower the immune system by letting it produce necessary antibodies. These drugs also assist in reducing bleeding of lungs.

In rare cases, people turn to a kidney transplant, a rather risky and life-threatening surgery.
