After reviewing your symptoms and medical history, your doctor will perform a physical examination to look for tissue swelling and high blood pressure.
They will also request the following tests to corroborate the diagnosis and rule out other conditions that could contribute to your symptoms:
- Kidney biopsy.
- Urine test.
- Urinary microscopy.
- Protein in the urine.
- Kidney function tests.
The treatment to be followed will depend on the type of glomerulosclerosis you have and its severity, but the purpose is to control the symptoms and prevent kidney failure, through:
- Antibiotics.
- Low-fat diet.
- Low or moderate protein diet.
- Fluid restriction.
- Vitamin D supplements.
In more extreme cases, the options are dialysis or a kidney transplant.
