Can patients with chronic nephritis have children? Experts suggest that they should be cautious

Patients with chronic nephritis may worry about whether they can have children, because if the situation does not allow it, it will not only harm the fetus but also threaten the mother. If they are in the treatment period, it is not recommended to have children and they should consult a doctor for more advice.

1. It is recommended not to have children during hormone treatment

Patients with nephrotic syndrome can have children after recovery, but if their condition has not yet recovered or they are undergoing treatment, especially patients using hormone therapy, they cannot have children. Because if a female patient who has not yet recovered from the disease becomes pregnant, the burden on the kidneys will increase, causing the disease to develop rapidly, and even develop into renal failure and uremia. Patients who use hormone treatment cannot have children because hormones can easily cause fetal malformations.

2. How can nephrotic syndrome be cured and under what circumstances can one have children?

Conventional Western medicine hormone treatment for nephrotic syndrome cannot cure the disease, because the function of hormones is only to suppress the body's immune response and control protein and other indicators, but it has no effect on repairing pathological damage inside the kidneys. Even if the protein can temporarily turn negative, the disease will recur once encountering inducing factors such as fatigue and colds. Many patients develop renal failure due to long-term recurrence of the disease.

3. How can we recover from nephrotic syndrome?

Improve the blood perfusion inside the kidney, increase the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane, remove the immune complexes deposited on its surface, and then repair the damaged and broken basement membrane to restore its normal physiological structure. The condition can be cured only when the pathological damage inside the kidney is repaired and restored to normal. At the same time, Funeng Kidney Hospital also provides conditioning and intervention in terms of diet, mentality, and lifestyle habits to avoid the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome and enable patients to recover completely. In this case, they can consider having children.
