Glomerulonephritis treatment with conservative medications

Glomerulonephritis is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys and cause making it hard for them to clean your blood properly. Diagnosis involves a series of steps, including patient history, physical examination, consultation with a nephrologist, lab tests, and ultrasound imaging. Once doctors have confirmed the diagnosis, they find the best treatment. It aims to reduce the immune system's attack on the kidneys and to manage the symptoms. A typical conservative treatment approach includes several types of medicines. Immunosuppressants slow down the immune system and prevent it from further damaging the kidneys. Diuretics help the body eliminate excess water and salt, reducing swelling and blood pressure. Corticosteroids control the immune system and reduce inflammation. Because kidney problems can lead to high blood pressure, doctors might also prescribe drugs to control it. In addition, doctors will provide symptomatic treatment, medications, or lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or nausea. Benefits of treatment include improved kidney function, reduced symptoms, and prevention of disease progression. In severe cases, therapy can also be combined with dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, procedures like plasmapheresis, or a kidney transplant. Each treatment plan is personalized, considering the patient's condition, symptoms, and overall health.
