Pregnancy and Kidney Diseases

Pregnancy with kidney disease

Advice for women suffering from kidney disease:

Before planning a pregnancy, consult a nephrologist, urologist and obstetrician-gynecologist. Get your kidney function tested if necessary.

If the kidneys do not completely remove metabolic products, you cannot become pregnant - toxins accumulate in the body.

With glomerulonephritis, pregnancy is possible in the stage of stable remission, without increasing blood pressure. Otherwise, it is difficult and often interrupted.

After removal of a kidney, pregnancy can be resolved after 1-2 years if the second kidney is healthy and compensates for its function.

In case of congenital defects of the kidneys or blood vessels, pregnancy is possible only after surgery.

Do not neglect contraindications - interrupting a pregnancy that has begun is dangerous to your health.

During pregnancy, exacerbations of chronic kidney diseases are possible. Constant monitoring and hospitalization are required.

Kidney diseases complicate the course of pregnancy, increase the risk of gestosis, anemia, and fetal development disorders.

Childbirth is carried out on time and managed conservatively. Caesarean section according to indications.
