Do you require lupus patients with ESKD or advanced CKD to be on minimal immunosuppression around the time of kidney transplantation?

Patients with SLE needs to have overall clinically quiescent disease to be actively listed for kidney transplant. They can be on stable/reduced dose of immunosuppression medications to keep the disease clinically under control. They can still have low complement levels (serologically active).
