How is nephritis syndrome treated?
Disease description:
I have been feeling very uncomfortable in my kidney area recently, with some pain. After going to the hospital for an examination, the doctor diagnosed me with nephritis. I would like to ask how nephrotic syndrome is treated?

The treatment of nephritis syndrome requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, with the main approaches including:
1. Determine the pathological type: Identify the pathological type of nephritis through renal biopsy to guide targeted therapy.
2. Aggressive blood pressure control and reduction of urinary protein: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), such as ACE inhibitors (e.g., "prils") or ARBs (e.g., "sartans"), are the first-line choices in clinical practice. These medications not only lower blood pressure but also reduce urinary protein excretion and slow the progression of renal dysfunction.
3. Dietary adjustment: Adopt a low-salt, low-fat, and high-quality low-protein diet, limiting sodium intake and controlling protein consumption to reduce the burden on the kidneys.
4. Avoidance of factors that may exacerbate kidney damage: Such as infections, overexertion, disturbances in water-electrolyte and acid-base balance, and the use of nephrotoxic drugs.
5. Pharmacological therapy: Depending on the individual condition, treatment may involve the use of glucocorticoids, cytotoxic drugs, etc., which must be strictly administered under the guidance of a physician.
