Question

Pediatric 52792: My wife was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in April 2015, and after hospitalization and medication treatment, her current indicators are considered normal. We are considering having another child and would like to inquire whether it is possible to become pregnant in this condition?

Answer

If the nephrotic syndrome has been stable for over two years, with no hematuria, and proteinuria less than 0.5 grams per day; normal renal function, no hypertension, no secondary neuronuria, and confirmed by detailed kidney biopsy that the pathological type of the kidney inflammation is mild, pregnancy can be considered. However, the pregnancy process may put pressure on the kidneys, which could lead to a recurrence of the condition. Therefore, during pregnancy, it is necessary to strengthen prenatal checks and control the condition under a doctor’s guidance, and terminate early pregnancy in a timely manner based on the fetus’s condition.
