Can glomerular disease be cured?

If the underlying cause of nephrosis is a kidney disease, it can’t be cured. The glomeruli in the kidneys can’t function properly, resulting in the buildup of wastes and water in the blood. Kidney failure occurs. Treatment, as failure worsens, is dialysis or kidney transplant.

Within a week or so of onset, most patients with PSGN begin to experience spontaneous resolution of fluid retention and hypertension.

How do you reverse glomerulonephritis?
