Treatment
Early and aggressive treatment is required to control the disorder. Diuretic medications help rid the body of excess fluid. ACE inhibitor medications (like Captopril and others) are used to slow the spilling of protein in the urine. Antibiotics may be needed to control infections.
Dietary modifications may include the restriction of sodium and use of dietary supplements as appropriate for the nature and extent of malnutrition. Fluids may be restricted to help control swelling.
Removal of the kidneys, dialysis, and kidney transplant may be recommended.
