Chronic glumerolonephritis

My brother of 20 has a chronic glomerulonephritis. Please advise if there any alternative treatment, which does not involve taking steroids and immunodepressants. I am looking to know whether there are new treatments of this disease and what homeopathic treatment available

Hi,

Chronic glomerulonephritis is the advanced stage of a group of kidney disorders, resulting in inflammation and slowly worsening destruction of internal kidney structures called glomeruli.Treatment varies depending on the cause of the disorder, and the type and severity of symptoms.

The primary treatment goal is control of symptoms. Diuretics are prescribed to reduce fluid retention and other medications are used to suppress the immune system. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressives, or other medications may be used to treat some of the causes of chronic glomerulonephritis. ny change in the medications must first be discussed with your doctor. But there are no new treatments available yet.

Lifestyle modification, dietary restrictions on salt, fluids, protein, and other substances may be recommended to help control of high blood pressure or kidney failure.

Take care and regards.
