What is Acute Glomerulonephritis in Children: Treatment and Care about?

Acute glomerulonephritis (GN) sometimes resolves on its own, but treatment depends on the cause and may include suppressing the immune system with steroids, antibiotics for bacterial infections, or dialysis for severe kidney damage. Symptoms are managed with medicines that lower blood pressure or help the kidneys, and a low-protein, salt-restricted diet with reduced fluids. Most acute GN heals over time, though how long varies, and untreated cases can become chronic.
