Can I have a baby if I am pregnant with nephritis?

We all know that when we want to have a child, both the man and the woman must be in good health, because this can reduce the probability of the baby being born with deformities, especially for patients with nephritis. Because pregnancy will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but also affect the growth and development of the baby in the body. It is very likely that the child will be born with deformities or have kidney disease. So, can a pregnant woman in Shenyang keep the child?

Pregnant patients with chronic nephritis need to achieve clinical cure. The so-called clinical cure means that all symptoms and signs of the patient disappear. In the treatment of chronic nephritis, it also includes the disappearance of red blood cells, white blood cells, urine protein, and casts in routine urine tests, and complete normal kidney function. In addition, there should be no recurrence within two years after stopping the medication.

Patients with chronic nephritis can get married or become pregnant only after achieving clinical cure. It is not appropriate to get married or become pregnant before achieving clinical cure. Because if you get pregnant or get married when your condition has just stabilized or has not yet stabilized, it is very easy to cause a relapse of the old disease and repeated symptoms, thereby worsening the condition. Moreover, if the patient is a female, once pregnancy poisoning occurs after pregnancy, it will make the condition more complicated, reduce kidney function, and also affect the health of the fetus. I have symptoms different from the above, can I get pregnant?

At the same time, in these cases, chronic nephritis cannot have children, there are the following situations:

1. In chronic nephritis, if the renal function has not returned to normal, the amount of urine protein increases, reaching "++" to "+++", and the blood urea nitrogen or creatinine decreases, and renal failure should be prevented. Such patients should not become pregnant. If it is early pregnancy, artificial abortion should be performed.

2. Women with chronic nephritis and high blood pressure should not get pregnant. After pregnancy, about 75% of patients will develop severe gestational hypertension syndrome, and the rates of premature birth and stillbirth are extremely high. When pregnant women with nephritis show pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, it can cause pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, when blood pressure rises very high and is accompanied by headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and even convulsions. Eclampsia poses a great threat to the lives of pregnant women and fetuses. At this time, in addition to active treatment, termination of pregnancy is often required to reduce the burden on the heart and kidneys.

At what stage of treatment is chronic nephritis effective in getting pregnant? Nephrologists from the Nephrology Center of the Southern Medical University Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine remind: Women with chronic nephritis can get pregnant if their renal function is basically normal, the urine protein is large (trace or "+"), and they have been stable for a period of time. But you should pay attention to rest, increase nutrition, eat more protein-containing foods, supplement sufficient vitamins, and eat a light diet, not too salty. Pay attention to increasing your body's resistance, avoid various infections, and check your kidney function regularly.

Because each patient's condition is different, whether a woman with chronic nephritis can become pregnant must follow the opinions and suggestions of the attending physician. However, if chronic nephritis is treated in a standardized manner, there will be no problem in clinical cure. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
