In most cases, patients have heavy proteinuria that shows foam in urine. When kidneys especially glomeruli are damaged, a lot of protein will leak from the kidney and discharge from the body via urine. If uncontrolled effectively, proteinuria will cause further kidney damage. Steroids have a remarkable benefit in alleviating proteinuria.
2. Swelling
As kidney loses its ability to remove extra water from the body and can’t keep slat balance in the body, swelling occurs easily as a consequence of water and salt retention in the body. To treat swelling, some diuretics are needed to swelling.
3. Hematuria or blood urine
When some blood red cells leak from the kidney or urinary tract infections occur, blood urine or hematuria will happen. The treatments should depend on patients’ specific condition. If the hematuria is caused by urinary tract infections, antibodies should be used, while repairing glomeruli is urgently needed.
4. High blood pressure
In some cases, patients’ blood pressure may be elevated. If uncontrolled, high blood pressure will cause further kidney damage. For hypotensive drugs, ACEI and ARB are preferable to help control high blood pressure and protect kidney function.
