Health tips for patients with complex glomerular disease

Complex glomerular diseases (or glomerulonephritis) are one of the most common causes of end-stage renal disease. The main measure to combat chronic kidney disease is prevention, following dietary guidelines, and early treatment of diseases or situations that may lead to it. In addition, when it is already established and advanced, treatments should be administered that totally or partially replace the functions of the kidneys, a renal replacement therapy.
