Brief Answer: I need details Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. First of all i want to know what was the cause of Acute Nephritis. Also, was it really nephritis and not Nephrotic? Treatment would depend upon what was the cause of your Nephritis/Nephrotic syndrome. In cases of Nephrology, we need proper details and history to help you better. So, give me full details of all the events you had and also attach here all investigations that were done earlier and recent investigations also. Once i have your complete history and investigations, i would give you the probable diagnosis and would discuss the treatment options. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD

Brief Answer: You should not take homeopathic medicines for this Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. I feel it is Nephrotic syndrome and not Nephritic. You should not experiment with your kidneys by taking homeopathic medicines. Nephrotic syndrome should be treated properly before it relapses and turns into a Chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. You might require kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Also you require further treatment with steroids and other immunosuppressive agents. I would suggest you not to take Homeopathic medications for this purpose. You are very young, and you need proper treatment. This is my best advice for you. If you have any further query, please ask me.
