The simplest and most commonly prescribed analysis is the analysis of urine. Urine expectant mother must take before each trip to the doctor. It would seem, why? Urinalysis is simple, but very informative and allows you to identify many pathological conditions still at the preclinical level. The main indicators, which is important to monitor during pregnancy, are white blood cells and protein. The protein in the urine during pregnancy is not such a rare phenomenon and is considered the first "bell" with renal disease.

During pregnancy, all the organs and body systems are experiencing a double burden. This is especially true of the cardiovascular and urinary systems. The kidneys of a healthy person chased one hour about five to six liters of blood. It is necessary to cleanse the blood of toxins by various substances and degradation products.

In addition, the growing fetus and increased uterus compresses the ureters and kidneys, thereby exacerbating the situation.

Protein in the urine of pregnant women

Exceeding this figure may indicate disease. But apart from pathological proteinuria allocate more false and physiological. Presence of protein in the urine may be due to a violation of rules for collecting urine or for personal hygiene (for example, when urine fall vaginal discharge). This is called a false proteinuria. Physiological proteinuria observed under the following conditions:

• consumption on the eve of passing urine belkovosoderzhaschih products (raw milk, raw eggs);

• Glomerulonephritis

The main feature of glomerulonephritis Glomerulonephritis - a severe infection of the kidneys But the presence of protein in urine is haematuria (increased content of erythrocyte in urine). Urine patients often painted in the color of meat slops. There may be kidney pain and fever. Treatment depends on the type of disease.

• Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia, or nephropathy - a multi-organ disease of pregnancy that develops after twenty weeks. The severity of preeclampsia determined gestation (the sooner arose, the harder) and the severity of symptoms. When nephropathy observed triad of symptoms: the presence of protein in the urine, swelling and high blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing? . Preeclampsia - a serious complication of pregnancy, the most severe manifestation is a swelling of the brain, and seizures (eclampsia). If you have eclampsia is high probability of death is not only the fruit but also the mother. Pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia, has an adverse effect on the fetus. Violated the utero-placental blood flow, the fetus does not receive the nutrients and oxygen, which leads to the development of hypoxia and intrauterine growth of the baby. Treatment of preeclampsia is held in the hospital, with the appointment of medical protective regime, soothing and vascular funds.
