Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is a group of kidney diseases characterized by inflammation in the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys.

Natural medicine approaches like dietary adjustments, managing blood pressure, and using certain herbs like turmeric or green tea might offer support in managing symptoms and potentially reducing inflammation, but individuals with glomerulonephritis should prioritize medical treatments and collaborate closely with healthcare professionals to develop a comprehensive management plan that considers the underlying causes and the specific needs of the condition.
