What medications can be taken to cure proteinuria

Whether proteinuria can be cured is related to the cause of proteinuria; physiologic ones can get better on their own, and whether pathological ones can be cured is related to the type of disease. Drugs commonly used to treat proteinuria include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor antagonists, diuretics, and glucocorticoids. Physiological causes such as short-term eating a large amount of protein caused by proteinuria does not need treatment, after adjusting the diet can be improved on their own, pathological causes of proteinuria can be cured with the type of disease, such as urinary tract infections caused by anti-infective treatment can be cured, nephrotic syndrome caused by clinical remission, can not be cured. The most common drugs used to treat proteinuria are: 1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ACEI/ARB): such as captopril, which can reduce glomerular hypertension, hyperperfusion, hyperfiltration, and slow down the development of glomerulosclerosis. 2. Diuretics: such as furosemide. Diuretics can reduce glomerular capillary pressure and glomerular filtration load by increasing urine output and improving renal function, thus relieving the symptoms of proteinuria. 3. Glucocorticosteroids: Glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone can be used in glomerulonephritis due to immune complex deposition in order to reduce the immune response and improve renal function so as to treat proteinuria. In addition, certain systemic diseases caused by renal damage, but also through the drug treatment of the primary disease to relieve proteinuria. When proteinuria occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, avoid self-medication.
