The treatment of glomerulonephritis varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In cases triggered by infections, antibiotics may be prescribed. For immune-related causes, immunosuppressive medications like corticosteroids or cyclophosphamide may be used to reduce inflammation. Managing blood pressure is crucial, often requiring medications such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers. Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and fluid management, are also important components of treatment. Regular monitoring of kidney function and adherence to prescribed therapies are vital for preventing disease progression and maintaining kidney health.
