An update on the treatment of glomerulonephritis
چکیده انگلیسی

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Some of these entities are responsive to immunosuppressive agents and other therapies. There have been recent advances in the treatment options, notably the benefit shown with the use of rituximab in some forms of GN. Moreover, the KDIGO guideline on the management of glomerulonephritis has recently been published which has consolidated the available evidence on the management of this heterogeneous group of disorders. Though there are significant risks and side-effects involved, the treatment of some of the forms of GN can be very gratifying while others progress relentlessly to ESRD. This review summarizes some of the key recommendations from the KDIGO guideline along with a brief discussion of the supporting evidence.
