Symptom 9: Frequent Urination: A Disruptive Consequence of Glomerulonephritis
Frequent urination, particularly at night, can be a disruptive symptom of glomerulonephritis. When your kidneys aren’t filtering waste and excess fluid efficiently, it can lead to an increased production of urine, resulting in more frequent trips to the bathroom. This can be particularly bothersome at night, affecting your sleep quality and overall well-being.
If you’re experiencing frequent urination, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for an evaluation. They can assess your kidney function, perform a urinalysis, and determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Treatment for frequent urination related to glomerulonephritis typically involves addressing the underlying inflammation and improving kidney function. Additionally, your healthcare provider may recommend lifestyle modifications, such as reducing your intake of fluids and caffeine, to help manage your symptoms. In some cases, medications that regulate urine production may also be prescribed.
