Often, closer to the end of pregnancy, a woman has signs of preeclampsia - late toxicosis, especially if she has previously been diagnosed with various chronic diseases. Doctors in such cases immediately check the daily protein in the urine. Visually, a change in color and transparency can be noted: the urine in the jar is cloudy, there is a sediment.
The protein norm is up to 0.03 g / l. What does increased daily protein show? First of all, doctors suspect that the kidneys are not doing their job. The reason for this may be a large load during the bearing of a child, especially if a woman has previously suffered from chronic pyelonephritis.
The dose of protein increases with inflammation of the urinary tract, but this phenomenon is temporary. The persistent presence of protein, poor analysis - such a situation should alert the doctor, and the woman will be offered hospitalization in order to restore kidney function and maintain pregnancy.
Sometimes an increase in protein indicates that the initial phenomena of pancreatitis are going on.
How much urine do you need to pass a protein test? Usually they use the selection of a portion from the daily urine, less often - all the urine, if the Zimnitsky test is done.
In addition to the protein and sugar content, doctors are interested in indicators such as:
• color;
• transparency;
• density.
Each of them can tell a lot to an experienced specialist. The task of a woman is not to panic, even if deviations are found, but to calm down and trust her doctor.
He will make a decision, prescribe a suitable diet and prescribe medications if necessary.
Today, you can successfully bring the pregnancy to a successful conclusion, even in the presence of serious pathologies, so you should tune in to the best and follow all the doctor's instructions.
