Can patients with nephritis have children?

Generally speaking, the course of chronic nephritis is relatively long, and its impact on patients is also very great. Many women have chronic nephritis for many years, and they are worried that they will not be able to have children normally. Is this true?

For patients with chronic nephritis, don't rush to have children. Women in the active stage of chronic nephritis, chronic nephritis accompanied by severe hypertension, and chronic renal insufficiency should not give birth, because recuperation is important for the treatment of chronic nephritis. Pregnancy can cause the disease to persist or even worsen, and kidney function can decline sharply.

In addition, if the proteinuria of chronic nephritis patients is more serious, pregnancy is not suitable, because pregnancy can cause the plasma albumin to drop, leading to severe edema, increased blood volume, increased blood pressure, and may lead to heart failure.

In addition, if chronic nephritis patients have high blood pressure and cannot give birth, it is generally believed that those with blood pressure higher than 150/100 mmHg are not suitable for childbearing. Such patients are prone to pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome during pregnancy, which can cause hypertensive encephalopathy, eclampsia, and stillbirth. It can also cause heart failure and acute renal failure. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is also very high.

Can I have children after having chronic nephritis? Chronic nephritis is a disease that is relatively difficult to treat, and there are many things to pay attention to during treatment. The issue of whether patients with chronic nephritis can have children needs to be taken seriously. They must not rush into having children, so as to avoid causing major impact on their offspring. Chronic nephritis has a long course of disease, and patients need to be mentally prepared.
