About Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is not a single procedure but a group of kidney diseases characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units within the kidneys. A nephrologist manages this condition through a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic process. This involves a detailed medical evaluation, blood and urine tests to assess kidney function and identify underlying causes, and often a kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific type and severity of the disease. Treatment is tailored to the cause and may include medications like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or blood pressure drugs, alongside dietary modifications and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and preserve long-term kidney function.

Key Highlights

Accurate diagnosis of the specific type and cause of kidney inflammation.Personalized treatment plan to manage symptoms and slow disease progression.Prevention of long-term complications like chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney failure.Management by a specialist (nephrologist) with expertise in complex kidney disorders.Holistic care approach addressing blood pressure, fluid balance, and diet.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
