Disease description:
I have recently been diagnosed with chronic glomerulonephritis and would like to know, how is chronic glomerulonephritis treated?

The treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors:
1. Lifestyle modifications: Patients should maintain a low-salt and low-protein diet (especially high-quality low-protein diet), reduce intake of high-protein foods to减轻减轻renal负担. At the same time, salt intake must be controlled to avoid worsening edema. In addition, patients should get more rest, avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise, maintain a positive mindset, and actively cooperate with treatment.
2. Medication therapy: Commonly used medications include antihypertensive drugs such as ACEIs (e.g., Enalapril Maleate Tablets, Fosinopril Sodium Tablets) and ARBs, as well as glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclophosphamide). These medications help reduce urinary protein, control hypertension, and suppress immune responses, thereby delaying the progression of kidney disease.
3. Surgical treatment: If chronic glomerulonephritis progresses to uremia and medication management proves ineffective, renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or kidney transplantation may be considered. These treatment modalities can significantly improve patients' quality of life, although surgical risks and postoperative care must be carefully managed.
