How can nephritis be cured?

Patient's question:

I also don't know what the reason is. My younger brother had a health check-up recently, and the doctor said he had nephritis. But he's still so young, how could he get nephritis? The doctor suggested that he rest at home, but he keeps saying he's fine, and we worry about him. I don't know if nephritis can be cured.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most cases of nephritis are caused by streptococcal infection. In this situation, through active symptomatic antibiotic treatment and bed rest during the acute phase, it can be self-healing. Acute glomerulonephritis, the patient's disease is particularly sensitive to the recurrence of hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and hypertension. However, with active treatment, the prognosis is generally very good.
