Symptoms of early nephritis in women

1. Infections of varying degrees. The onset of nephritis is closely related to the patient's infection to a certain extent, such as common upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, etc. When these symptoms of infection appear, patients should be examined promptly to rule out the possibility of nephritis.

At the same time, patients may also experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and lower back pain. Blood may be mixed in the urine, and the urine may have an abnormal color.

Can patients with chronic nephritis get pregnant?

During pregnancy, women's kidneys, blood pressure and other related aspects will undergo physiological changes. Women with chronic nephritis who do not understand the physical conditions for pregnancy or do not follow the precautions after pregnancy often suffer recurrence or aggravation of the original disease, thereby endangering the fetus.

Whether a patient with chronic nephritis can become pregnant depends on her condition. The patient's condition must be stable, her blood pressure and renal function must be normal, and her renal pathology must be minimal lesions, early membranous nephropathy or mild mesangial hyperplasia, with no obvious tubulointerstitial lesions. The more of the above conditions are met, the safer the mother and fetus will be after pregnancy, and the greater the possibility of a successful pregnancy. The pregnancy generally goes well and has no adverse effects on the original disease. If the patient desires to have a child, can understand the problems that may occur after pregnancy, and can actively cooperate with the doctor to monitor her condition, she can become pregnant.

If the patient has normal renal function but has high blood pressure, complications are more likely to occur during pregnancy. For those with moderate renal impairment, the prognosis is poor, and existing kidney disease and renal function may worsen. For those with severe renal impairment, normal pregnancy and delivery are almost impossible. Therefore, patients with these three conditions should avoid pregnancy as much as possible.
