Does the male's nephritis affect the health of the fetus during the female's pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: There are a large number of red blood cells in urine and semen. Under this condition, can the woman become pregnant? Is there a problem with the health of the fetus born? First follow-up question: It is currently heard that if the man's semen mixed with blood leads to pregnancy, the born child may have cerebral palsy. Is this true? Can the man's nephritis be transmitted to the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Nephritis is not contagious, but it also needs to be actively treated. Nephrotic glomerulonephritis caused by viral infections, such as influenza virus, mumps virus, hepatitis virus, measles virus, and varicella virus, can all cause kidney damage. Viruses can directly invade kidney tissue or trigger immune complex nephritis as antigens. Therefore, preventing infectious diseases is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of glomerulonephritis.
