protein in urine high blood pressure pregnancy

You're blood pressure would be up if you had pre eclampsia. That's what pre-eclampsia is high blood pressure. There are many reasons you could have protein in your urine. It's a problem if it's there in high amounts several times. If you have sex before your sample (even the night before) it can cause protein to show in your urine.

Sometimes, when your body is under some type of stress, they can malfunction and let things like protein and glucose sneak through (which they should not). Protein in the urine is something they monitor in pregnancy esp if there is high blood pressure because it can indicate pre-eclampsia (along with high BP) or some type of stress on the body.

I had low blood pressure with my first and before we could leave the hospital it became very high and stayed that way for 6 months and then went back to normal, then with my second it got high around 6 months and I started getting trace amounts of protein in my urine so they put me on a blood pressure medicine and we made it to 39 weeks for our scheduled c-section without pre-eclampsia.

they've said that but I've only had a high blood pressure twice& just went today&is fine. my dad has high blood pressure but sometimes when he's tested is not high.

If you have protein in your urine but your blood pressure is normal, your sample will be sent to the lab for a culture to see whether you have a UTI.

They have never checked my urine. My sister got admitted at the end of her pregnancy for high blood pressure.

I am about 23 weeks pregnant with my first, due in late June. A few weeks ago, my doctor pointed out that I've been having high blood pressure readings in the 140's over 80's, but I have not had any protein in my urine or other signs leading to pre-eclempsia (other than occasional foot swelling). On Feb. 18, my doctor put me on a week of bedrest and a medication called Methyldopa. When she checked me a week later, Feb.

My blood pressure was a bit high with my first, and again with my second, but I just ask them to take it after I've sat for a few minutes instead of right after I get into the office, and it usually goes down. As long as there's not a high amount of protein in your urine, you should be fine. High BP plus protein in your urine can be a sign of preeclampsia, but try not to stress about it. You'll know in a few days.

I have also had persistent bad headaches some dizziness shortness of breath and fatigue. but no high blood pressure so am I preeclamptic or not? Would it be mild or severe? What is the treatment for this while pregnant? Ik the only cure is delivery.any ladies with experience please reply.thanks!

If your blood pressure is high and you have protein in your urine it's because your kidneys are not functioning properly to filter the protein out. Protein in your urine without high blood pressure is usually due to diet, dehydration, or something preexisting.

All she said about it was that i dont need to worry about it unless i start spilling protein in my urine or if i start getting headaches that dont go away with medicine. And now i have had a headache for a couple of hours and have taken tylenol about an hour ago and nothing is working. Could it be that my bp is getting higher?

If your urine sample contains high levels of protein, and your blood pressure is raised, your midwife may take a blood sample. This will check your blood count, clotting, kidney and liver function. If your midwife is concerned about your proteinuria levels, or any other symptoms you have, she may send you straight to your local maternity unit for more tests. You should get the results within four hours. If the proteinuria is found to be at safe levels, you'll be able to go home again.

Have protein(ketones) in your urine means you aren't eating enough, so your body is using up fat reserves as a source of energy, therefore meaning your body is in starvation mode

I have had high levels of protein in my urine my entire pregnancy. Im 34weeks now. I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy but so far my bp is fine with this pregnancy. Not sure why i have protein in my urine either.

It's OK With My First Child I Had High Pressure At A Reg Check Up The Kept Me Induced Me Which Was Not Any Pain Because They Keep You On Meds And Since I Was Having My First My Labor Was The Full 72Hours Active Labor 4Hours Praying For A Good Outcome

Wondering the same thing here. They been telling me I've had protein in my urine for about 3 months now.

Well when my doctor said that I was leaking protein in my urine I also had high blood pressure so I had the condition called toxemia, and had to be admitted in the hospital for a week until I turned 37 weeks and than be induced, but don't worry because if you had that you will also have high blood pressure and your doctor would have told you. Just pray to God that you won't have toxemia but if you do don't worry about it!

So...it doesnt look like I have preeclampsia at all. There is now no protein in my urine and my platelet level is normal. However, I still have a high blood pressure. Today it was 151/90. She scheduled me to come in on thursday but im just curious as to what they will have to do if it doesnt go down. Im 35 weeks 2 days.

So im 30 wks and i went to dr today and they found protein and white blood cells in my urine... My blood pressure was good but still worried about pre eclampsia. I feel like i had it undiagnosed with my first and have been worrying about getting it this time. Then with protein in my urine im getting even more worried. Any insite?

Any other mommies have high blood pressure during pregnancy? I'm 26 weeks and have had high blood pressure my last three visits. What are your experiences? Did it eventually lead into preeclampsia?

I have traces if protein in my urine as well and had high blood pressure. Doctor made me pee in a jug for a whole day and turn it in. turned out I had a uti. Never had one before and heard they were painful. I told doctor that I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. My doctor said because we are pregnant some symtoms won't show. So it really could. Be a uti. Don't worry to much about it.

I had an appt. today as well as was told I had high blood pressure. I was 145/85 (I think the bottom number was 85, I could be wrong, but 145 top number for sure, stupid pregnancy brain) I was told I'm a bit swollen around my ankles and peed In a cup and my results came out negative for preeclampsia, thank goodness, but they want to check again on my next weekly appt. If I still have high blood pressure and possibly do blood results If I have a neg.

Hi Doctor, Thanks for your reply. At my last OB visit, the OB told me I had 2 + protein in my urine & I was only 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. She said it may just be due to dehydration - drink more water. Could this mean that pre eclampsia is starting? Or something else? What could cause protein in the urine so early during pregnancy? I had my kidneys checked 2 yrs. ago by my PCP & they were fine then. Thanks....

Hmm usually protein in the urine and swelling is a sign of pre eclampsia. If she's not concerned to the point where she's forgot to bring it up I'd say its nothing drastic but maybe call her and ask?

I have had high blood pressure my whole pregnancy, often as high as 170s/100. I was put on meds and told modified bed rest last week at 35w5d. Ihave not had to do urone collection as when it spikes they make me come back the following 2days for checks and urine samples. If it os still high this week at my 36w5d appt while on the meds i think they will probably put me on full bed rest until i deliver.

I had high blood pressure last pregnancy along with other symptoms (swelling in hands and feet, headaches, protein in urine) which is preeclampsia. I've had high blood pressure again with this pregnancy usually 150/90 and my midwife is currently monitoring it closely as well as other symptoms (trace protein in urine, headaches, stars in vision, swelling) as it looks like I'll have preeclampsia again.

I had a dr appt today and the last to visits she told me my blood pressure was high. But all thru the Pregnancy my blood pressure has been normal. Also before I was pregnant I never had a problem with it. Any sugestions to what it might be? FTM plz help.
