Glomerulonephritis Treatment
Glomerulonephritis Treatment
Glomerulonephritis treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, reducing inflammation, and protecting kidney function. For cases caused by infections, antibiotics or antiviral medications may be prescribed. In autoimmune-related glomerulonephritis, immunosuppressive drugs, such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants, are often used to reduce immune system activity and prevent further kidney damage. In some cases, controlling high blood pressure and reducing protein in the urine through medications like angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may be recommended.
In severe or advanced cases, when kidney function is significantly impaired, more intensive treatments may be required, including dialysis to filter the blood, or kidney transplantation if kidney failure occurs. Treatment plans are tailored based on the type and severity of glomerulonephritis, with ongoing monitoring to adjust therapy and protect kidney health.
Key Facts About Glomerulonephritis:
Treatment Depends on Cause: The treatment approach varies depending on the underlying cause, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
Medications: Common treatments include immunosuppressants (e.g., corticosteroids), ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and diuretics to reduce inflammation and control symptoms.
Blood Pressure Control: Managing high blood pressure is crucial in preventing kidney damage and controlling protein loss in the urine.
Dialysis for Severe Cases: If kidney function significantly declines, dialysis may be necessary to filter waste from the blood.
Kidney Transplant: In cases of end-stage kidney failure, a kidney transplant may be considered as a long-term solution.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure, and urine protein levels is essential for adjusting treatment and preventing complications.
Lifestyle Changes: Patients may be advised to follow a kidney-friendly diet, limit salt and fluid intake, and avoid nephrotoxic substances.
