Two successful pregnancies in a membranous nephropathy patient : Case report and literature review

Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc..

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.
