What Is Nephritis?
8. Medications
Whenever there is an infection present, antibiotics are usually used to help deal with the problem. Antibiotics are only usually used when deemed necessary, however. If the condition is severe enough, then the patient might be expected to stay in hospital on an intravenous drip.
Some types of nephritis can be quite painful, so painkillers are also sometimes prescribed. Corticosteroids may also be used to help reduce inflammation. Kidney conditions can also affect the levels of certain vitamins and minerals in the body. In which case, the patient may be prescribed supplements to help restore them to their natural balance in the body.
