Patient's question:
About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy (Lee's Stage III-IV). After treatment, the hormones and Xiaoxi were reduced to maintenance doses (one each) a year ago. Recently, all test results are basically normal (including ECT, renal function immunoassay, three-glass urine test, seven-glass urine test, 24-hour urine protein quantification, urinalysis, blood routine, and complete blood chemistry). Before Chinese New Year, I had a check-up, and my attending physician said that I currently have no active damage and am recovering well, asking me to come back for a follow-up this month to consider reducing the hormones. Since I feel awkward asking the attending physician directly, I came here to ask the experts. With my condition, can I get married and have a sex life?Doctor's answer:
You can get married. IGA does not have hereditary transmission. You are at the IGA level 3. Currently, your protein control is good. In the future, you can reduce the medication a bit, which will not affect fertility—you can get the certificate anytime. Long-term occult blood does not affect marriage or fertility, and there is no need to wait until it is completely negative before having children. There are many factors that can cause pediatric kidney disease. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in the child and maintain a balanced diet.
