Pregnant women with poor kidney function need to pay more attention to their daily diet and prenatal care during this period. Moreover, women also need to pay attention to supplementing calcium nutrition during pregnancy, as the demand for this nutrient will increase during fetal development after pregnancy. So, can pregnant women with nephritis take calcium tablets?
1. Pregnant women with nephritis need to undergo a detailed examination to determine whether calcium supplementation is necessary during pregnancy. If calcium supplements are needed, they can be administered under the guidance of a physician. Due to renal dysfunction, it is recommended for pregnant women with nephritis to supplement with liquid calcium supplements, which are relatively easier to absorb, reduce the risk of kidney stones, and alleviate the burden on the kidneys.
2. When pregnant women with nephritis need calcium supplementation, they should pay attention to consuming more calcium rich foods in their daily diet, such as seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, etc., and also expose themselves to sunlight in moderation, which will help the absorption of calcium elements in the body. During pregnancy, it is important to drink plenty of water to facilitate the absorption of calcium and the elimination of toxic and harmful metabolic waste from the body.
3. In addition, pregnant women with nephritis during pregnancy must pay attention to strengthening prenatal examinations, especially targeted examinations of kidney function, conducting close observation, and constantly understanding their own condition and whether the fetal development is at a normal level. If there are any abnormal conditions, they should actively cooperate with doctors for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.
