Hello!
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli, which are an important component of the kidney's filtering system. Glomerulonephritis has two forms: acute glomerulonephritis (rapid progression) and chronic glomerulonephritis (slow progression, insidious progression). The cause of glomerulonephritis can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary (post-coccidial infection, lupus erythematosus, IgA nephropathy, etc.).
People with glomerulonephritis need a special diet and lifestyle to support treatment and prevent complications such as:
- Rest: Avoid strenuous physical activities, staying up too late, and give your body plenty of time to recover.
- Stay away from stimulants: Alcohol, beer, cigarettes, coffee...
- Reasonable diet: Limit salt, control protein, drink enough water, avoid processed foods...
- Exercise: Do gentle exercises such as yoga, tai chi, slow walking, or stretch your arms and legs in bed if you are weak.
- Regular check-ups.
Glomerulonephritis can progress to end-stage renal failure if not treated promptly and effectively. Therefore, you need to closely monitor kidney function, control blood pressure, proteinuria, and find and treat the cause early.
