Pregnancy proteinuria +3, is it serious

Patient's question:

I am 28 weeks and 6 days pregnant. The urine protein test result is +3, and my blood pressure is 90/140. Is this serious? How should it be handled?
First follow-up question: Please explain in detail the severity and its impact. Thank you!!
What treatments are generally done during hospitalization? What impact does it have on the mother and fetus?
Second follow-up question: 3B scan results: Biparietal diameter 6.9 cm; femur length 4.9 cm; head circumference 24.59 cm; abdominal circumference 22.25 cm; placental thickness 2.6 cm; amniotic fluid 4.0 cm. Is the fetus small? How much does it weigh approximately?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition could be related to preeclampsia, or it might be a manifestation of kidney issues alone. This matter requires attention and regulation.
Seek regulation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. You may also consider consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment using herbal formulas such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang or Ci Fen Qing Jin Yin, adjusted as needed. Maintain a calm mood, avoid fatigue, avoid staying up late, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
1. If there are no other symptoms, focus on a diet low in salt, drink less water in the evening, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
2. Undergo kidney function and liver function tests to rule out proteinuria caused by kidney overload due to pregnancy.
3. Undergo blood pressure and blood lipid tests to rule out preeclampsia.
