What Is Glomerulonephritis?
10. Treatment
Treatment of glomerulonephritis will depend largely on the nature of the disease; particularly whether it is the acute or chronic variety. In some cases, the condition might clear up once the underlying cause has been treated. This is particularly the case when it was caused by strep throat infections.
Treatment for glomerulonephritis tends to revolve around dealing with the underlying cause and preventing further damage to the kidneys. In the more severe cases, dialysis may be necessary to help remove the toxins and impurities from the blood. Depending on the severity of the damage caused, a kidney transplant will be recommended in some cases.
