As kidneys are easily affected by toxin, one has to carefully take medicine
to avoid further damage to kidney when there is something wrong with the
kidneys.
The following drugs used clinically can damage kidneys:
A) antibiotics and other western medicine.
a. drugs often causing renal damage: Amphotericin B, Neomycin, Cephalosporin
II etc.
b. drugs relatively often causing renal damage: Gentamicin, Kanamycin,
Streptomycin, Tobramycin, Amikacin, Polymyxin, Polymyxin, Vancomycin,
Sulfanilamide etc.
B) non-steroid antiinflammatory agent：indomethacin， butazodine, aspirin, APC,

Can A CKD Patient Be A Mother?
Many people hold the question that whether a CKD patient can be pregnant. Now
I’d like to talk something about it in detail.
a) Some CKD patients, with less proteinuria, no hypertension and no renal
function decline, can be pregnant under the supervision of doctors. But they
have to regularly have Urine Routine Examination, blood pressure test, renal
function test. Especially at the latter half of gestation CKD patient have to
have two times Urine Routine Examination, have blood pressure test each day and
have renal function test 1-2 times each week.
b) If CKD patients have the trend like increase of mass proteinuria, obvious
increase in blood pressure, renal function decline, they have to stop the
gestation. CKD pregnant women with edema and high blood pressure have to
strictly control salt intake, have a good rest, complement protein and essential
amino-acid to improve hypoproteinemia. If the blood pressure increases, we have
to use drugs without effect on the renal blood flow volume such as Capoten and
Nifedipine.
