Glomerulonephritis Specialists & Kidney Doctors in Arizona
What Is Glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that cause inflammation in the glomeruli, the tiny filters in your kidneys. When these filters are damaged, they lose their ability to properly clean your blood, which can lead to kidney damage and even kidney failure. Our board-certified specialists provide a compassionate and streamlined approach to diagnosing and managing this condition.
Glomerulonephritis Symptoms
The signs of glomerulonephritis can be subtle and develop gradually. Common symptoms include blood in your urine, which may look red or cola-colored, and swelling in your face, hands, or feet. You may also notice foamy urine or have high blood pressure. Early detection is crucial for a positive outcome, and our experts are dedicated to a precise diagnosis.
What are My GN Treatment Options?
The goal of glomerulonephritis (GN) treatment is to reduce inflammation and protect your kidney function. Treatment is personalized to your specific type of glomerulonephritis and may include medications to suppress the immune system, lower blood pressure, or reduce swelling. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on managing your condition to help prevent further kidney damage.
