Management of severe circulatory congestion in acute nephritis

The primary treatment for acute glomerulonephritis patients with severe circulatory congestion is diuresis and decongestion, and if the patient’s symptoms continue unabated, hemodialysis treatment can be used to relieve the patient’s condition. As the glomerular filtration rate decreases in acute glomerulonephritis, it leads to severe water and sodium retention in the body, causing circulatory congestion, and some patients may even develop symptoms of congestive heart failure. The main treatment is diuresis, commonly used drugs are diuretics, commonly used drugs such as torasemide, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, etc., can be used orally or intravenously. If the effect is not good, hemodialysis treatment can also be used to reduce the symptoms of volume retention in the patient’s organism.
