Acute Nephritis Treatment Options

Dietary Changes

It is hard to know what kind of dietary changes you should make to help combat acute nephritis symptoms. The one thing almost any doctor will recommend is getting plenty of fluids, as increasing water consumption will prevent dehydration and allow the kidneys to filter out waste better. As far as food goes, if your kidneys are impaired, your doctor might want you to start on a low potassium diet. They might even recommend you leach (or soak) your high-potassium vegetables before you eat them, as this can reduce potassium in the food. You might also need to avoid foods high in sodium since this can cause kidneys to hold water and increase blood pressure.
