In healthy women, urine is completely transparent and has a shade of light yellow. Slight changes in shade may be due to restricted drinking regimen, taking a number of medications, or eating certain foods containing a coloring pigment. Experts consider the following data to be optimal indicators of the state of urine:
Color Light yellow
Sediment None
Protein Does not exceed 500 mg/day.
Glucose Permissible provided it is absent in the blood
Erythrocytes No more than 3 per field of view
Leukocytes H6 and less units in the field of view
Density 1012 g/l
Acid-base balance 5-7.4pH
The body of a woman undergoes restructuring during gestation, so many processes occur in it with changes. A slight excess of salts that may be present in the biological fluid under natural conditions is fully used to create the bone and cartilage structures of the baby. This explains the presence of absolutely transparent urine in pregnant women, not clouded by oxalates, phosphates and urates.
