I believe you already know that women who are overworked can also bring themselves the threat of some diseases, and it is possible that the incidence is higher than that of men. Take kidney atrophy as an example, it is certainly a bolt from the blue for women who have not yet conceived. Today, we will explain why kidney atrophy can affect pregnancy, and the details are as follows. Because pregnancy increases the burden on the kidneys, it is easy to complicate the hypertensive syndrome of pregnancy, which often aggravates the kidney damage. If the kidney atrophy is not active, only a small amount of proteinuria, not accompanied by increased blood pressure, pregnancy can not aggravate the kidney damage. Depending on the degree of renal atrophy, there are different effects on the development of the fetus. Chronic renal atrophy with increased blood pressure is often accompanied by placental hypofunction and insufficient fetal blood supply, which can lead to intrauterine growth retardation, stillbirth and high perinatal mortality. In pregnant women with severe renal atrophy, the fetal mortality rate can reach 50%. It can be seen that whether women suffering from renal atrophy can get pregnant can be the following: a. Women with chronic renal atrophy accompanied by increased blood pressure should not get pregnant. Pregnancy is complicated by severe gestational hyperemia syndrome in about 75% of patients, with a very high incidence of premature birth and stillbirth. When gestational hypertensive syndrome occurs in pregnant women with renal atrophy, it causes pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, when blood pressure rises very high and is accompanied by headache, blinding, nausea, vomiting, and even convulsions. Eclampsia is very life-threatening for the pregnant woman and her fetus. In addition to active medical treatment, the pregnancy should often be terminated to reduce the burden on the heart and kidneys. Secondly, if the kidney function has not returned to normal, the amount of urine protein increases, up to “++” → “++++”, urea nitrogen or creatinine in the blood is elevated, to prevent the occurrence of renal failure. Such patients should not get pregnant. If the pregnancy is early, abortion should be performed. Third, women suffering from chronic renal atrophy, if the kidney function has been basically normal, a small amount of urine protein (trace or “+”), and a period of stability, you can get pregnant. But should pay attention to rest, increase nutrition, eat more food with protein, supplement a sufficient amount of vitamins, diet should be light, not too salty. Pay attention to increase body resistance, avoid various infections, and check kidney function regularly. Every prenatal checkup should check for swelling and weight gain, measure blood pressure, and check urine protein. For those who have only a small amount of proteinuria without an increase in blood pressure, the pregnancy outcome is usually good with better health care and careful monitoring during pregnancy. We can understand that this kind of disease is already a serious threat to our patients and families, so for the health of you and your family, if you suspect the possibility of renal atrophy when you are unwell, you should go to the doctor as soon as possible to relieve the doubts in your mind, and never retreat. The disease is not terrible, we can overcome.
