1305271 tn?1320984748 Yesterday I went for screening/physical/drug test for a job and the said they found high levels of protein in my urine. Besides any of the common diagnoses, could this be a sign of pregnancy too?? About a month or 2 I thought I could be pregnant but the preg. test were both negative. Could there still be a chance I am and there is a problem??
Avatar n tn Im 15 weeks pregnant i just received my urine test result i have one (+)plus in my urine. Does anyone had the same problem in pregnancy, what i should do?
Avatar f tn I had a urine sample today at midwife appointment and they found protein in urine and now investigating.
Avatar n tn I had high protein 2 weeks ago. Tested again this week and it was normal. Most women test high at some point in pregnancy, doesn't mean anything unless you get more than one in a row. I hadn't eaten much 2 weeks ago, that was probably the reason it was high for me. Dehydration can be another reason. Odds are you have nothing to worry about, just take it as it comes. Good luck, and congrats on the baby!
Avatar n tn if protein is not found in urine, will urine antibody test for any disease show no results? Or is it possible that there is antibody in urine but urine routine will show no protein present ?

4503521 tn?1400858886 Having small amounts of protein in your urine is common in pregnancy. It can happen for a number of reasons. It probably just means that your kidneys are working harder now that you're pregnant. It could also mean that your body is fighting a minor infection. Your midwife may send a sample of your urine to the hospital to check if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). If you have a UTI, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic that is safe to take in pregnancy.
Avatar n tn Doctor said she found a small trace of protein in my urine so she wants me to complete a 24 hours urine test. They said it could possibly mean preeclampsia? Can someone give me more insight!?! What if protein is found? Does that mean preeclampsia?
Avatar f tn You may also need 24 hours urine test, random protein to creatinine ratio to check the kidney status and a serum and urine protein electrophoresis test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Sometimes, some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly. I suggest you to discuss these investigations with your urologist and get them done. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar f tn Was curious if anyone knew why exactly the doctors ask you to pee for every doctor visit? They already know im pregnant, so its not a pregnancy test. What exactly do they test the urine for though?

280234 tn?1532986249 Yesterday at my 1st prenatal visit, my OB said they found a small amount of protein in my urine, but said it could be due to dehydration, to drink more water.

178698 tn?1228774338 I have had protein in my urine since I was in my early 20s. It's never been at a high enough level for the MDs to get overly concerned. I've had testing on my kidneys and everything, and they can't find anything wrong. As far as pregnancy goes, I've also had it in my urine during this pregnancy, but not at a high level. I have had to do 24-hour urine collections a couple of times so he could check kidney function but, other than that, no big deal.
Avatar m tn Hello, Pus cells are indicative of infection while albumin in the urine represents protein in urine or proteinuria. It can happen due to renal causes or other causes like infections, sarcoidosis, multiple myeloma, and SLE. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a urologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn / my bp was about the same as yours, a little higher. There has been slight protein in my urine for months but nothing dangerous. If you do have preeclampsia, they'll probably induce you no later than 38 weeks.
Avatar n tn Protein in urine is a sign of infection. Did your doctor give you medication? They should have.
Avatar f tn I have had protein in my urine on and off this pregnancy. I had my son last year at 37+3 because of hypertension getting so bad and had like 5 24 hour urine test done. I'm 36 weeks today and blood pressure is up and down and leaking protein and my urine is typically about the same color every time regardless of protein in it or not.
Avatar n tn ll most always have some protein in your urine, as trace amounts of protein are excreted in your urine as part of normal urine production. The concern is when you have TOO MUCH protein in your urine. This is a symptom known as proteinuria. How can you tell when you have too much protein in your urine? One of the tell-tale signs of too much is when your urine is very foamy, frothy or bubbly. Another way to diagnose proteinuria would be through a urinalysis.
Avatar f tn My dr had me do a 24 hr urine test for protein. your protein levels change depending on the amount of fluids you have. They said my BP was fine but it was higher then normal for me. My sugar test is next tuesday so we shall see when that comes back.

Avatar f tn They're checking the urine for protein. If protein is spilling over into your urine it can be indicative of health problems such as pre eclampsia.
