Prevention of Glomerulonephritis
Not until more is known about its causes. However, good hygiene, practicing "safe sex" and avoiding IV drugs are helpful in preventing viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis, which could lead to this illness.
If you have the chronic type of glomerulonephritis, it is very important to control your blood pressure since this may slow down kidney damage. Your doctor may tell you to eat less protein. A dietitian trained to work with kidney patients (a renal dietitian) can be very helpful in planning your diet.
