Glomerulonephritis Treatment at Medicover Hospitals, Begumpet

Glomerulonephritis involves inflammation of the kidneys' glomeruli, which are essential for filtering waste from the blood. At Medicover Hospital in Begumpet, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing this condition through a combination of medications, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring.

Medications for Glomerulonephritis

Our treatment plan often starts with medications tailored to the specific cause of glomerulonephritis. These may include:

Preventing Complications

Preventing complications involves regular monitoring and adopting lifestyle changes. Medicover Hospital provides thorough diagnostic services to keep track of kidney function through blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies.

Dietary Management

Diet plays a vital role in managing glomerulonephritis. We recommend a diet low in salt, potassium, and phosphorus to lessen kidney strain, and limited protein intake to prevent worsening kidney function. Our nutritional counseling services will help design a diet plan tailored to your needs.

Managing Hypertension

Since high blood pressure can both cause and result from glomerulonephritis, effective hypertension management is critical. We offer specialized care to address both hypertension and glomerulonephritis, involving medication, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing monitoring.

Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can enhance kidney function and reduce complications. Medicover Hospital supports patients in making these changes to improve overall treatment outcomes.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. A kidney biopsy is often performed to determine the specific type of glomerulonephritis and guide treatment. At Medicover Hospital, we provide expert diagnostic services and develop personalized treatment plans.
