Is it true that urinary protein will disappear if you drink more water for nephritis?

Urinary protein in nephritis patients will not disappear because of drinking more water, so it is not true that urinary protein in nephritis will disappear if you drink more water. Nephritis patients glomerular filtration barrier is damaged, protein loss from the urine, drink more water can not make proteinuria disappear, and does not have any effect on the treatment of nephritis. In addition, nephritis patients who have obvious edema should also limit the water, and not be able to drink more water. Nephritis is divided into acute and chronic. Acute nephritis is mostly seen after streptococcal infection, acute onset of disease, treatment is based on bed rest, anti-infection and other symptomatic supportive treatment. Chronic nephritis is characterized by proteinuria, hematuria, edema, hypertension, accompanied by renal insufficiency. Treatment is based on ACEI/ARB drugs (e.g. Benadryl, Irbesartan, etc.), hormones (e.g. Prednisone), immunosuppressants (e.g. Tacrolimus, etc.). Patients with nephritis should go to the hospital in time, timely treatment under the guidance of professional physicians, drugs need to be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medication.
