Components of Glomerulonephritis Care
✔ Detailed Medical History & Symptom Evaluation – A thorough discussion of your symptoms, including swelling in legs/ankles, changes in urine appearance, fatigue, and any history of infections or autoimmune diseases.
✔ Urinalysis – A crucial test to detect blood, protein, and red blood cell casts in urine, which are key indicators of glomerular inflammation.
✔ Blood Tests (Kidney Function & Markers) – Including serum creatinine, BUN, eGFR to assess kidney function, and specific tests for inflammation markers, antibodies (e.g., ANA, ANCA), and complement levels to identify the cause.
✔ Kidney Biopsy – Often the definitive diagnostic tool, involving taking a small tissue sample from the kidney to examine under a microscope to determine the exact type and severity of glomerulonephritis.
✔ Blood Pressure Management – Aggressive control of high blood pressure is critical to reduce stress on the kidneys and prevent further damage, often using ACE inhibitors or ARBs.
✔ Immunosuppressive Therapy – Medications such as corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) or other immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclophosphamide, rituximab) may be used to reduce kidney inflammation, depending on the type of glomerulonephritis.
✔ Dietary Modifications – Recommendations for a low-sodium, low-potassium, or low-protein diet to reduce the burden on the kidneys and manage symptoms like swelling.
✔ Fluid Management – Monitoring and adjusting fluid intake to manage edema and maintain fluid balance.
✔ Addressing Underlying Conditions – Treatment of any systemic diseases (e.g., lupus, vasculitis) or infections (e.g., strep throat) that may be causing the glomerulonephritis.
✔ Regular Monitoring & Follow-up – Ongoing assessment of kidney function, urine tests, blood pressure, and medication adjustments, often in collaboration with a nephrologist, to prevent disease progression.
