Immunosuppressants (For Glomerulonephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome)
About the procedure
Immunosuppressant therapy is used to control kidney diseases such as glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome that occur due to abnormal immune system activity. These medications reduce inflammation and immune attacks on the kidney filters (glomeruli), helping to decrease protein loss in urine and preserve kidney function. Commonly used drugs include corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents. Careful monitoring is essential to balance treatment benefits while minimizing side effects and infection risks.
