The duration of hormone therapy should be determined based on clinical symptoms and the actual condition of the disease. Generally, when nephritis patients present with moderate to heavy proteinuria, they are treated with hormonal therapy. If there is only mild hematuria or proteinuria, treatment usually involves a small dose of ACEI or ARB medications. Prior to initiating medication, it is advisable to perform a renal biopsy to determine the appropriate drug choice and dosage.
