What Is Glomerulonephritis?
8. Prevention
Glomerulonephritis cannot usually be prevented directly, but preventing other medical conditions can help to reduce the risk of glomerulonephritis developing. For example, keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range can help prevent the condition, as well as providing a number of other important health benefits.
Diabetics should manage their blood sugar levels the best they can in order to help prevent glomerulonephritis, among other reasons. It is also a good idea to protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases like hepatitis and HIV, and not only to prevent glomerulonephritis. Getting impetigo and strep throat infections treated as soon as possible will also help to prevent the disease.
