The nephrons in ur kidneys are super importiant. They are responsible for absorbing and extracting what ur body need. Basically exchanges salt, water and waste. I believe an anti-inflamatory will help and H20 to try and flush waste products and extract it as urine. I feel that because Im young my doc doesnt take me as serious. If ur not getting better or ur not getting the info u need......GO TO ANOTHER DOC. They may have a different prospective. Good luck
Consult a nephrologist (kidney specialist). Also test your blood for serum creatinine and blood urea as well as Blood sugar (RBS or FBS). These tests will help determine the degree of problem with your kidneys.

Nephritic changes indicates that there are inflammatory changes in the kidney and the cause for the same could be an infection or a disease like high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. You should consult the nephrologist for suitable help.
