Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am about 19 weeks pregnant. Today, I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. The urine test results are as follows: Specific gravity 1.0251.010-1.030. pH 5.56.0-7.5. Indications: Lymphocytes 1+ neg/ul. Nitrite negative neg. Protein negative neg -25 g/l. Glucose 2+ norm mmol/L. Ketones negative. Leukocytes not seen. Urobilinogen not detected.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a close relationship between urine sugar and blood sugar: (1) When blood sugar rises rapidly, urine sugar is often negative. In other words, urine sugar cannot be detected. This is because the body's stress response to raising blood sugar puts the body in a state of conserving blood sugar. (2) When blood sugar remains at a very high level and no longer continues to rise, urine sugar may show severe positivity. This is because the body's impulse to recover blood sugar is relieved. (3) When blood sugar begins to gradually subside, urine sugar becomes positive. At this time, the body is releasing blood sugar. This has no effect on the fetus during pregnancy. However, your urinalysis shows glucose 2+, indicating the presence of urine sugar. Gestational diabetes cannot be ruled out, and it could also be caused by diet, such as eating watermelon, bananas, or other fruits before the test.
