For patients who cannot tolerate female chronic nephritis, doctors are often asked the question: Will chronic nephritis affect normal fertility? Nephrology experts point out that for women with chronic nephritis who can have children, it should be determined based on the patient's own condition. For those with severe conditions, life-threatening situations may occur during childbirth; However, in daily life, it is possible to have children with appropriate care.
For patients with mild clinical symptoms of chronic nephritis, such as chronic occult nephritis, those with only a small amount of proteinuria, no hypertension, and no renal dysfunction, fertility should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.
For such patients, it is necessary to regularly go to the hospital for routine urine tests, blood pressure measurements, and kidney function tests, especially in the late stages of childbirth. Urinary routine tests should be conducted twice a week, blood pressure should be measured daily, and kidney function should be checked every 1-2 weeks. How can patients experience a significant increase in urinary protein, a significant increase in blood pressure, and a decrease in renal function? Please seek timely diagnosis at the hospital.
Patients with chronic nephritis should maintain good conditioning and ensure sufficient rest and sleep after giving birth. We should have a reasonable diet, ensure nutrition, and supplement sufficient vitamins to enhance our physical fitness and reduce the chance of infection. Pay attention to cold and warmth protection, prevent upper respiratory tract infections, clean the perineum, avoid sexual activity, and reduce the chance of urinary tract infections. Attention should also be paid to skin cleaning and early treatment of dental caries.
When patients experience edema and elevated blood pressure, they should strictly control their salt intake, ensure rest, supplement protein and essential amino acids, and correct hypoproteinemia. If there is an increase in blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine and captopril that have no significant impact on renal blood flow should be selected. Avoid using drugs that can damage the kidneys.
Therefore, for female patients with chronic nephritis, reasonable childbirth should be carried out based on their own condition. Female patients who decide to have children should take good care of chronic nephritis in their daily lives, otherwise it can easily cause serious harm to the patient.
