Suggest Risk For Pregnancy During Minimal Change Disease
When I was six years old i was diagnosed with minimal change disease. Nephrotic syndrome. Now 21 years old I have been in remission for 6 years. Within the next year I plan to try for a baby with my partner. Recently I have had issues with my menstrual cycle. But have had a few issues along the way. I would like to know some possible risks

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Pregnancy in patients with nephrotic syndrome ( minimal change type in your case) is possible. However, it is associated with the risks like superimposed pre eclampsia, deep venous thrombosis and associated complications, anemia, protein and vitamin D deficiency.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist and get preconceptional counselling and advice if you are planning to conceive.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
