What to do if urine protein is high at 38 weeks of pregnancy

There is a small amount of protein in our normal urine. This protein has an index value. It is negative within the range. When the protein exceeds the index value, it is called proteinuria, which is positive. Proteinuria of 1 in pregnant women at 38 weeks of pregnancy is gestational proteinuria. So, is proteinuria 10 at 38 weeks of pregnancy serious?

First of all, proteinuria can be divided into functional and physiological. Proteinuria during pregnancy is functional and a normal condition of pregnancy. If it is not too serious, you can rest assured. If it is serious, you need to accurately measure the blood pressure of the pregnant woman. If the blood pressure is too high and the pregnant woman suffers from hyperglycemia, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to deliver the baby.

Secondly, the protein in the urine of normal pregnant women will increase, which is related to the increase in renal flow. If the pregnant woman has no kidney function symptoms before and during pregnancy, then it is normal for the pregnant woman to have proteinuria. After delivery, the pregnant woman can have a routine urine test to see if there are any kidney function symptoms.

Another point is that if pregnant women pay attention to their diet, exercise and stay fit properly, and do not have other uncomfortable symptoms, and only a minus sign in proteinuria appears, there is not much problem, and it should be related to the heavy burden of late pregnancy. Just don't be too nervous, and be careful not to catch cold or eat cold food.
