Question

A mother diagnosed with IgA nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis inquires whether she can breastfeed her baby without medication.

Answer

Generally speaking, for mothers with IgA nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis who are not taking any medication, breastfeeding should not pose significant problems. However, it is recommended to consult a doctor before breastfeeding to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. Additionally, if the mother needs to use medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the health of the baby should be closely monitored, and medication treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.
