Can women with nephrotic syndrome get pregnant?

For women, whether they can get pregnant is a very important thing, which determines whether they can pass on their family line. I believe that pregnancy is a very happy thing for women. People who grow up eating whole grains will inevitably have some diseases, among which nephrotic syndrome is a common one. In daily life, there are also many women with nephrotic syndrome. So can women with nephrotic syndrome get pregnant?

Can I get pregnant with nephrotic syndrome?

Medical experts believe that nephrotic syndrome, as a chronic kidney disease, has a long course and is difficult to treat, and it is very harmful to mother and baby. Pregnancy can aggravate existing nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome often leads to fetal growth retardation and premature birth due to low plasma albumin.

Therefore, regarding the question of whether patients with nephrotic syndrome can get pregnant, the answer is definitely that it is best not to get pregnant. However, as long as the following conditions are met: nephrotic syndrome has been stable for more than two years, there has been no hematuria and proteinuria is below 0.5g per day for two years; renal function is normal; there is no hypertension and no concurrent urinary tract infection; and after a renal puncture examination, it is confirmed that the pathological type of nephritis is relatively mild, then pregnancy is possible.

Will pregnancy aggravate kidney disease? These questions often trouble female kidney patients who have not yet given birth. In fact, under the guidance of a nephrologist, the pregnancy success rate for female kidney patients with normal blood pressure and normal renal function can reach over 95%. This shows that some female kidney disease patients still have the opportunity to have a baby of their own.

Female kidney disease patients cannot become pregnant if they have the following conditions :

Nephrotic syndrome often leads to fetal growth retardation and premature birth due to low plasma albumin.

IgA nephropathy has a high fetal mortality rate.

Patients with moderate renal insufficiency have a high incidence of fetal growth retardation and premature birth, and pregnant women may experience progressive deterioration in renal function.

Pregnancy in patients with secondary kidney disease such as lupus nephritis may induce or aggravate the condition, so great caution should be exercised. For example, patients with diabetic nephropathy are prone to preeclampsia, premature birth, fetal malformations, macrosomia and fetal respiratory distress syndrome after pregnancy, so they should not become pregnant.

Moreover, nutrition during pregnancy is very important. Patients with nephrotic syndrome are prone to hypoproteinemia and edema. Low immunity and increased blood lipids will also increase the possibility of infection and embolism.

Therefore, whether nephrotic syndrome will affect fertility is different. It is recommended that if you decide to become pregnant, in order to ensure the safety of the fetus and the patient herself, it is recommended to conceive under the guidance of a doctor.

Women must pay attention to check their bodies before getting pregnant. If their condition is serious, it is best not to get pregnant, as this will cause great harm to the mother and baby, and will also cause great harm to the fetus. When treating a patient's disease, you must be cautious when choosing the treatment method.
