Can patients with nephrotic syndrome have sexual life?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my husband is a patient with nephrotic syndrome. He has been sick for more than two months and has been taking medication for treatment. Last night, my husband had sex. But I didn't want to refuse him, afraid it would put pressure on his body. Can people with nephrotic syndrome have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the description, the patient has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Patients with nephrotic syndrome often experience recurrent massive proteinuria, edema, hypoproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia. It is recommended that the patient pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, prevent infections, and avoid the use of nephrotoxic drugs. When the patient's condition is unstable, sexual activity is not recommended, as excessive fatigue may worsen the condition. If the patient's condition is stable, appropriate sexual activity can be performed.
