ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pregnancy in patients with nephrotic syndrome presents enormous challenges to both the mother and fetus, and there are no treatment guidelines for these patients.METHODS:
We show a case of a woman with anti-PLA2R antibody-positive membranous nephropathy who did not have a kidney biopsy. Her clinical course during both pregnancies was closely followed and her medications were guided.RESULTS:
She gave birth to 2 healthy babies and her condition was very well controlled with the help of medication.CONCLUSION:
Patients with nephrotic syndrome can have successful pregnancies after drug treatment. In addition, similar to the non-pregnant population, percutaneous kidney biopsy is not required for the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in pregnant nephrotic syndrome patients with anti-PLA2R antibody positive, but the etiology of secondary MN should be excluded.
