What are some reasons I would have protein in my urine? I was just checking my update on my doctors…

you should ask to your doctor. could be infection. also some women who end up with preeclampsia have protein

Preeclampsia

@jnh199243, what kind of infection? I have shingles and a bacterial infection in my ear, could that effect it? My blood pressure has been normal I don't know the other symptoms of preeclampsia

no more like a kidney or bladder infection

@jnh199243, well damnit. I have so much going on right now hopefully something else isn't...I'll have to ask her about it.

Signs of preeclampsia would be high blood pressure, blurry vision, dizziness, swelling, bad headaches. I Had all of the symptoms except I didn't swell

@siababy, see, I have all of those except high blood pressure and swelling...blurry vision, dizziness, and headaches are caused by the eye condition I have right now which was caused by my pregnancy. 😑

Could be the early signs of Preeclampsia also. I didn't get diagnosed until my 7th month. Then I Had my son at 34weeks cause of it. I would see your doctor again.

@soababy, thank you for the advice, I will definitely ask her! I'm supposed to deliver early already because of my eye condition..

I had protein in my urine quite frequently in my first pregnancy due to muscle breakdown

@showersoverflowers, oh man, how does that work?

I have hypoglycemia and an issue with my heart. basically my body was kind of in starvation mode during my last trimester. my doctor wasn't too concerned as long as it was a drastic increase, my symptoms were managed, and baby was growing. They might have you do a 24 hour catch to rule out preE but my blood pressure stayed low until the day before I had him.

u need to be monitored for pre eclampcia u have vision issues ringing in ears headaches those are all signs of pre e !

and protein in ur urine is a #1 symptoms

@cocored55, they wondered if I could have pre-eclampsia as well but I haven't had protein in my urine except for this one time I posted about it, my blood pressure has been great, and no swelling...so they're just going to keep an eye on me :)
