Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have polycystic kidney disease. However, I am currently in the pre-pregnancy period with my husband. I would like to ask if it is possible to get pregnant with polycystic kidney disease, and will it have an impact on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
If you have polycystic kidney disease, it is best to avoid getting pregnant. Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder. If it is not treated promptly, it may lead to kidney failure, uremia, and even many complications, such as polycystic liver disease and reproductive system infections. Therefore, it is advisable to first undergo treatment for polycystic kidney disease before considering pregnancy. Otherwise, it may easily result in repeated miscarriages or stillbirths after becoming pregnant.
