Risk reduction
Glomerulonephritis
While there are many ways to slow down the effects of Glomerulonephritis, there is almost no way for it to be prevented. This page will show a few ways that people can reduce the risk of the disease progression.
1. Diet
Eating a balanced diet helps to support the health of the kidney and provides the body with the nutrients that it needs in order to function properly. Health food choices ultimately reduces stress on the kidneys and helps slow the progression of Glomerulonephritis.
2. Low salt and exercise
Lowering salt intake, staying physically active and practicing meditation can all help with lowering high blood pressure. Managing high BP levels is crucial as high BP can worsen kidney damage.
3. Managing diabetes
Properly managing diabetes will help you keep your blood sugar levels managed. This reduces the damage to the kidneys and slows down the effects that Glomerulonephritis can have on your body.
4. Appropriate treatment
Treating the underlying cause of glomerulonephritis is extremely important. Seeing healthcare specialists when infections such as strep throat occur is really important. Prompt treatment can prevent infections from triggering immune reactions that may worsen kidney damage.
