This is a question that many male patients are concerned about, but they are hesitant to ask directly, always feeling awkward.
But of course, this does not mean that everyone should completely indulge themselves, as exercise can accelerate muscle metabolism, produce a large amount of creatinine, which is not good regardless of kidney function, so moderation is key.
Women: Does kidney disease affect fertility?
For women, the most concerning issue would be the impact of kidney disease on fertility.
This is because the impact of pregnancy on the kidneys is much greater for women than for men. Many women who did not have kidney disease before may develop conditions such as proteinuria, hypertension, or even hyperglycemia during pregnancy, not to mention those who are already kidney disease patients.
Therefore, if a female kidney disease patient wishes to conceive, the clinical criteria are usually strict, such as:
1) Urinary protein quantification less than 1g/24h
2) Hormones reduced to fewer than 3 tablets per day
3) Systemic diseases like lupus erythematosus are not in an active phase
4) Creatinine levels are not elevated
Therefore, female patients who wish to become pregnant must undergo joint diagnosis by nephrology and obstetrics.
Caution is always justified.
When it comes to dealing with kidney disease, caution is always justified.
Many patients, after insisting on undergoing regular reassessments several times, found that all their data was within safe limits and their condition did not fluctuate. They gradually relaxed their vigilance, thinking that periodic checks were a waste of time and money.
Some patients like to inquire about effective home remedies, especially those popular among fellow patients with similar conditions. These practices do not benefit kidney disease and will not save you time and money; instead, they can accelerate disease progression, making it harder to manage.
