What Are The Symptoms Of Glomerulonephritis?

Urinating More At Night

Glomerulonephritis patients may find they are urinating more at night. This could be due to the disease itself or to the diuretics prescribed to manage edema and related symptoms. Urinating more at night could naturally disrupt sleep, and this could negatively impact the patient's emotional state. It might also lead to weight gain and worsen the patient's control of their blood sugar and blood pressure. Patients who are troubled by frequent urination at night may want to keep a journal of how many times they wake up at night to use the bathroom. This information could be helpful to doctors in planning the patient's treatment. It may be possible to try different medications that might reduce nighttime urination, and patients might want to restrict fluid intake during the evening to improve the overall quality and duration of their sleep.
