Pregnancy-related kidney disease requires a Caesarean section?

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Please ask, does gestational nephropathy require a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is a non-suppurative inflammatory lesion of both kidneys. Due to damage to the glomeruli, symptoms such as edema, high blood pressure, and proteinuria may occur. It is the most common type of kidney disease.
There are many types of nephritis, including: acute (glomerular) nephritis, chronic (glomerular) nephritis, pyelonephritis, occult nephritis, allergic purpura nephritis (purpura nephritis), and lupus nephritis (lupus nephritis).
For lupus nephritis, it is recommended to first perform a kidney biopsy for diagnosis and then treat according to the symptoms.
