Introduction:

Glomerulonephritis, often referred to as glomerular nephritis and denoted by the acronym GN, is a kidney condition marked by infection of the glomeruli, or tiny blood arteries, in the kidneys. Proteinuria (blood or protein in the urine) alone, nephrotic syndrome, nephritic disorder, acute kidney damage, or chronic kidney disease are some of the possible symptoms. They are divided into a number of distinct pathogenic patterns that can be roughly divided into proliferative and non-proliferative categories.

Because the therapy and result for each kind of GN vary, GN pattern diagnosis is crucial. While secondary causes are linked to specific infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens), medications, systemic diseases (SLE, vasculitis), or malignancies, primary causes are those that are inherent to the kidney. There are numerous illnesses that actively inflame the glomeruli. Some of these conditions are systemic, meaning they affect multiple body systems simultaneously, whereas others only affect the glomeruli. Renal impairment may result from scar tissue replacing healthy, functional kidney tissue when there is severe inflammation within the kidney.

Causes:

Glomerulonephritis is the glomerulus’s inflammation. This illness could be brought on by anything that makes the body swell up in inflammation. Glomerulonephritis is primarily caused by autoimmune illness. An immunological reaction to any toxic agent in the body is inflammation. Auto-immune sickness is characterized by the body’s immune system attacking its own cells.

While secondary reasons are linked to specific infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens), medications, systemic illnesses, etc., primary causes are ones that are inherent to the kidney that induces inflammation. Streptococcal throat infection is a common cause. Glomerulonephritis in children is primarily brought on by minimal change illness. Nephrotic syndrome is also brought on by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membraneous glomerulonephritis, which both refer to inflamed glomeruli.

Symptoms:

The swelling in the feet and the puffiness around the eyes are the most noticeable glomerulonephritis signs and symptoms. Along with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia, there is frothy urine. Fatigue, a decrease in appetite, and weight gain are further symptoms. Other hypoalbuminemia-related signs include ascites, general anasarca, pericardial effusion, and pleural effusion.

Homeopathic Treatment:

The homeopathic treatments for glomerulonephritis are chosen following a thorough individualizing evaluation and case analysis that considers the patient’s medical history, physiological makeup, and mental makeup, among other factors. The following list of homeopathic medications for glomerulonephritis indicates their therapeutic affinity, but it does not provide a comprehensive or conclusive guide to the management of this condition. Since homeopathy also considers general symptoms and constitutional indications when choosing a remedy, the symptoms listed next to each medicine may not directly relate to this disease.

• Aurum muriaticum: This homeopathic treatment is used to treat gout- or syphilis-related kidney diseases like Morbus Brilliant. There are signs of digestive and neurological issues as well as extreme irritation. It may also result in vertigo.
• Apis mellifica: The acute types of glomerulonephritis are not treated with this homeopathic remedy. Oedematous swelling on the face, pallor, headaches, pain in the back and limbs, edema pulmonum, and other symptoms are examples of this type. It is used when there is micturition, decreased urine, and mild kidney discomfort. Blood cells and albumen are both seen in significant amounts in the urine. The patient experiences a skin eruption and is sleepy.
• Arsenicum: One of the greatest treatments for glomerulonephritis is this homeopathic medication, which is administered at all stages. It is utilized in the later stages of the condition when the patient’s complexion becomes pale, he gets a waxy appearance, and he experiences excess thirst and diarrhea. Dark and albumen-rich, the pee has a distinctive color. Attacks of dyspnea have also been noted while dozing off at night. The patient feels better after taking aconite, which causes mucus to form.
• The homeopathic treatment Aurum met is used when maintaining urine is difficult and the urine contains mucous-like material.
• When there is high blood pressure, renal (kidney) stones, dull yellow or green urine, and neuralgic pain coming from the kidneys, these are Berberis’ rubrics.
• Useful in cases of urinary tract illness, cannabis indica.
• Cantharsis’ rubrics: This is useful in situations including nephritis (kidney inflammation), renal colic, and delicate kidney regions.
• Cuprum met is a homeopathic medication used when a person experiences bedwetting, very watery urination, and acute urethral pain.
• Helonia’s rubrics: Effective homeopathic treatment for kidney irritation, albuminous (white) urination, ill feeling, cramps, and bluntness.
• In situations where it is difficult to retain water, juniper is used.
• The homeopathic treatment Kali carb is a general cure for renal issues as well as a treatment for kidney stones.
• Sanicula’s rubrics: Best homeopathy medication used for kidney irritation, kidney stones, and bloated bladders.
• When a person experiences the urge to urinate frequently at night, when there is plentiful urine and pale white pee, Chelidonium’s rubrics are beneficial.
• When there is kidney failure, agonizing urination, and colored urination, Cuprum Aas’ rubrics apply.
• Blood in the urine, kidney discomfort, and urinary tract exacerbation are among the conditions covered by terebinthum.
• General edema (swelling brought on by water retention) and excruciating pain in the urethra are two symptoms of urea.
• Opium’s classifications include general edema, dark stools, white urine, hiding of urine, stomach enlargement, mucous-like urine, and uremic shaking. Uremia is a form of blood disorder. You can speak with a homeopath if you want to discuss a specific issue.

Precautions:

Although there is no known way to stop glomerulonephritis, the following behaviors may be beneficial:

• Consume wholesome, unprocessed food.
• A low-sodium diet, exercise, and medication can all help you control high blood pressure.
• Practice proper hygiene and safe sex to ward against illnesses. Avoid using syringes for tattoos and illicit drug use as well.
• If you suspect you have an illness like strep throat, visit a doctor.
