Patient's question:
At 8 months pregnant, having one plus sign of protein in the urine is serious? Does it need treatment? Or will it be fine after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
8 months pregnant, 1 plus sign of protein in urine, swelling in the calves, normal blood pressure. This issue is actually quite simple. You just need to come to the hospital to check your blood pressure and retest your urine protein.Suggestions: If your blood pressure rises and the urine protein test is positive, you will definitely need to be hospitalized. If your blood pressure is normal, you still need to retest your urine routine. A positive urine protein test is also related to glomerular filtration rate. It's common to have a positive result after pregnancy. If it's preeclampsia, your blood pressure will be elevated, and the urine protein will become more pronounced, along with worsening edema. You should pay attention.
