What medications are used to treat nephritis

The common types of nephritis are glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, etc. Depending on the cause, antibiotics such as quinolones such as levofloxacin and cephalosporins such as cefuroxime, ACEI or ARB drugs such as captopril, irbesartan, etc., glucocorticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs such as prednisone, cyclophosphamide, etc., and diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide can be applied for the treatment of nephritis.
Nephritis is a general term for infectious or non-infectious inflammation of the kidneys, including glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis and other types. Commonly used oral medications for pyelonephritis include quinolones (e.g., levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin), semi-synthetic penicillins (e.g., amoxicillin), and cephalosporins (cefuroxime). Antibiotics may be changed based on drug sensitivity tests in patients who do not respond well to treatment.
The treatment of glomerulonephritis is more complicated, ACEI or ARB drugs such as captopril and irbesartan can be applied to lower blood pressure and reduce urinary protein, and glucocorticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs such as prednisone and cyclophosphamide can also be applied if the patient does not have obvious contraindications. Patients with severe edema can relieve symptoms by using diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide.
All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication. Patients with nephritis are advised to go to regular hospitals in time to give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
