Protein in Urine

I ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE IN MY URINE,(NOTHING EVER CAME OF IT) AND THE DOC SAID THE AME THING TO ME, DRINK MORE WATER.

DONT STRESS ABOUT IT, A LITTLE PROTIEN IN UR URINE IS OK. JUST TRY AND DRINK MORE WATER! GOOD LUCK!

Hey Summer,

I had traces of protein in my 35th week U/A. But.. since my BP is normal and I have no swelling at all my Dr is not worried as long as its traces.

But having Protein more than traces can mean there can be other things coming up like PIH etc. So, definately keep ur BP checked and if u have any swelling, rashes, redness contact ur Dr immediately.

Lets see what Dr Q says though.

thanks chrissy..

Thanks Hope you are so informative..

NP, BEST OF LUCK!

Hey Summer, are ur glucose levels ok ? I hope so..

Hi Summer,

Protein in the urine can mean many different things...However, in the third trimester, this can be a most ominious problem, in particular that of Gestational Hypertension...One has to look out for this as HopeN mentioned with close monitoring of BP, swelling, Severe Headaches, liver pain, change in vision...

In the first and second trimester, could be as simple as something as a UTI or other forms of contaminant...Yet, if the protein still continues, then further investigation is warranted to make sure there isn't other pathology going on, such as with the kidneys (rare)..

Hi there, last thursday i went to the doctors and found out that i had protein in my urine, after reading these comments i might also try and drink more water. i have been trying for a baby and just wondered if i might be pregnant because of the protein appearing as the ladies on here seem to be pregnant. what could the other causes of the protein showing up be?
