When a patient is confirmed to have<unk> , the main goal of treatment (regardless of the underlying cause) is to control elevated blood pressures and reduce active inflammation in the kidney itself. Most often, the patient will need to be admitted to the hospital for close monitoring to ensure the efficacy of treatment and make adjustments as needed. Some treatment modalities commonly used to meet these goals include: * Bed rest during the recovery process to ensure administration of optimal medical therapy with as low of a risk as possible for any exacerbating factors (falls, infection, etc.). * Fluid restriction to minimize the risk of edema (if not already present) or to reduce any active edema that may be present. * A special diet during the hospital stay that restricts sodium, potassium, and fluids in conjunction with the previously mentioned fluid restriction in an attempt to control symptoms of fluid overload. * Administration of diuretics if patient is showing signs of fluid overload. This will cause excess fluids to be excreted in the urine and may lessen the workload placed on the kidney, allowing it to recover from the inflammatory damage. * Administration of antihypertensives to alleviate hypertension and maintain a normal blood pressure during the recovery process. * Administration of anti-inflammatory medications (such as steroids or NSAIDs) to reduce active inflammation in the kidney. * If the patient is showing signs of kidney failure or end-organ damage, the treatment team may opt to utilize kidney dialysis temporarily (or permanently, in some severe cases) to decrease stress on the kidneys and allow for optimal recovery. Once the acute phase of the<unk>  is controlled, it is crucial to determine the underlying pathology that caused the onset of the acute<unk>  and to treat that condition. If the underlying cause is not determined and treated appropriately, it increases the risk of a recurrence of<unk>  or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the future.
