During pregnancy,repeatedly undergo a series of the same surveys. They give a clear picture of the state of the future mother and her baby, allow you to identify any deviations in time. For example, before each visit to the doctor-gynecologist it is necessary to conduct a general analysis of urine. To date, the most effective method of diagnosing the functioning of the kidneys and urinary tract. When conducting laboratory studies, attention is always drawn to the increased protein in the urine.
Many women areso many analyzes. What are all these tests for? Let us dwell on this point in more detail. Such substances as sugar and protein do not appear in a healthy person in the urine, since their molecules are so large that they are not passed through the kidney filter. Many women even before the onset of pregnancy have chronic kidney disease, which during this period can significantly worsen.
Elevated protein in the urine signals possiblediseases in the urinary system. In the future mother due to the increase in the uterus disrupts the process of urination, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the burden on the entire urinary system. High protein indices in the urine (the so-called proteinuria) lead to an exacerbation of the inflammatory process.
The presence in the urinary system of seriousinfection - this is only part of the reasons contributing to the appearance of pregnant proteinuria. In women, increased protein in the urine can become the initial stage of development of nephropathy. This is a fairly serious disease, which in neglect can lead to the termination of pregnancy. In the most severe cases, when treatment is not carried out at all, this situation can lead to the death of both the mother and the child. That is why the increased protein in the urine during pregnancy causes very close attention.
Temporary minor fluctuations in the resultsanalysis should not cause unnecessary anxiety. But if the high protein in the urine persists for a long time and is confirmed by repeated studies, here it is urgent to look for the cause of proteinuria.
In this situation, a pregnant woman is prescribedSpecial examinations and analyzes giving a complete picture of how the kidneys and urinary system work as a whole. Timely identified causes of the disease will help a pregnant woman calmly inform the child.
Adequate therapy will help to reducethe level of protein in the urine, that at the time of birth it can disappear completely. It is generally believed that during the period of gestation the minimum protein in urine analysis in the mother is normal. Minor fluctuations are explained by the anatomical proximity of the genital and urinary tract.
Often when collecting the analysis in a special containerpart of the vaginal discharge falls. To obtain more reliable results, thorough hygienic procedures are recommended before collecting the analysis.
