Diagnosis and treatment of glomerular disorders including Glomerulonephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Lupus Nephritis, using targeted immunosuppressive and supportive therapy guided by kidney biopsy findings where indicated.
What this includes
- Evaluation of Glomerulonephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Lupus Nephritis.
- Kidney biopsy-guided diagnosis for precise, targeted treatment.
- Immunosuppressive therapy planning with close monitoring for side effects.
- Coordinated care for autoimmune conditions affecting the kidneys.
Frequently asked questions
Is a kidney biopsy always necessary for glomerular disease?
Not always, but it is often the most reliable way to identify the exact type of glomerular disease and guide treatment. Your nephrologist will recommend a biopsy when the diagnosis or treatment plan depends on it.
What is Nephrotic Syndrome?
Nephrotic Syndrome is a pattern of kidney damage marked by heavy protein loss in urine, low blood protein levels, and swelling (especially in the legs and around the eyes). It can result from several underlying glomerular conditions, which is why identifying the specific cause matters for treatment.
Can Lupus Nephritis go into remission?
Yes — with appropriate immunosuppressive treatment, many patients with Lupus Nephritis achieve remission or significant improvement. Ongoing monitoring is important, as flares can occur and treatment may need to be adjusted over time.
