The established therapy for glomerular disorders of the kidney is outlined in a short review. Before initiating therapy, the physician must decide if the underlying disease is of primary or secondary type. The nephrotic syndrome and progressive renal insufficiency can result in both conditions. The necessary dietary and pharmacological principles in the therapy of these syndromes are discussed. Finally, the clinical and therapeutic aspects of secondary glomerulopathy are described with selected examples.
