Can kidney patients have tooth extraction?

Patient's question:

I was 14 years old when I transitioned from acute nephritis to nephrotic syndrome.

Doctor's answer:

It's not necessary to have your teeth pulled. I have had nephrotic syndrome for 3 years, and during that time, I had 2 relapses, both due to repeated infections. I suggest you don't have your teeth pulled. Infections and fatigue can both potentially lead to recurrence.
