Glomerulonephritis
How is it treated?
A variety of drugs are used to get the balance right and this differs
from person to person. In some cases the use of non-specific drugs
which affect the immune system (e.g. steroids) may help. In all cases
the aim of treatment is to prevent the kidneys completely failing to
function. If kidney failure takes place individuals will need dialysis
or transplantation.
