• Have a baby and raise a baby is a dream for every woman in her lifetime, who doesn't want to have a child or a complete family? However, diseases are unmerciful, some diseases break the baby dream of women, and sometimes Lupus Nephritis is a baby-dream breaker. The female patients with Lupus Nephritis who want to have a baby shall read the following information carefully.

  There are 2 kinds of problems they may meet:

  I For fetus: abortion rate and premature birth rate is high for female patients with Lupus Nephritis during gestation period, especially for those with positive anti-phospholipid antibody. Hormones are especially harmful to women who want to conceive, which are also harmful to fetus.

  II For mother-to-be: gestation may induce attack or activity of Lupus Nephritis. Statistics show that 20% of female Lupus Nephritis patients develop disease after pregnancy or birth-giving. At the same time, pregnancy also could aggravate Lupus Nephritis and induce Nephrotic Syndrome, Hypertension and renal damage.

  Therefore, the relative risk of pregnancy for Lupus Nephritis patients is higher than patients with Primary Glomerulonephritis. We recommend female Lupus Nephritis patients who want to have a baby to meet the following conditions before pregnancy:

  I Have already received effective treatment and the disease condition has been relieved and stabilized for more than one year;

  II Take hormone in maintenance dose;

  III No Hypertension or renal damage.

  We still recommend patients had better not conceive if there is no absolutely necessary. It is very hopeful to treat Lupus Nephritis by effective therapy.
