If patients with glomerulonephritis eat an appropriate amount of salt, and their urination function is damaged, they will often aggravate the symptoms of edema, increase blood volume, and cause intentional failure. Therefore, it is necessary to restrict salt and give low salt diet. Salt intake should be controlled day by day to prevent swelling and increase blood volume.

It is advisable to supplement vitamins selectively and actively with water-soluble vitamins (vitamin B, vitamin C, etc.).
