Overview
The mainstay of treatment is pharmacotherapy, however dietary therapy is useful for controlling edema and hypertension. Dietary therapy includes low salt, protein intake, and water restriction. If the streptococcal infection is still present, it should be treated with antibiotics. To control severe hypertension, labetalol is usually used, mild to moderate hypertension, furosemide is used, for rapidly progressive crescentic acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, methylprednisolone is preferred.

Dietary therapy
Pharmacotherapy
According to 2012 KDIGO guidelines , the following pharmacologic therapy is currently indicated for specific patients with PSGN.[1]
- Diuretics are indicated for adult patients with signs of azotemia or heart failure
- ACE-I or ARBs are indicated for adult patients with persistent proteinuria for > 6 months, especially if > 1g/24hrs
- If the streptococcal infection is still present, it should be treated with antibiotics[2]
- To control severe hypertension, following drugs can be used:
- Preferred regimen: Labetalol 0.5-2 mg/kg/h IV
- If refractory to labetalol then, Preferred regimen: Diazoxide or Nitroprusside 0.5-2 mcg/kg/min IV
- For mild to moderate hypertension:
- Preferred regimen: Furosemide 1-3 mg/kg PO q24h
- For treatment of rapidly progressive crescentic acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, following regimen is used:[3]
- Preferred regimen: Methylprednisolone
