Pregnant woman with protein urine

Usually there will be no protein or just little in the urine of a pregnant woman. If the expectant mother is ill or the urine sample is taken incorrectly, the protein will appear in the urine. There are factors that can cause the protein urine.
Hypertensive disease in the pregnancy period
Edema, protein urine and hypertension are the main symptoms of the hypertensive disease during the pregnancy. If the edema or protein urine comes together with the hypertension, it is very possible to suffer from the hypertensive disease during the pregnancy period.
The mentioned disease only occurs in pregnancy. The incidence is 9.4% in China, and 7%-12% according to the foreign report.
Unreal protein urine
Due to the natural structure that the urethra is very close to the vagina, the urine can be easily contaminated by the secreta from the vagina, if the sample is taken incorrectly, that is why the protein appears in the urine.
To avoid the contamination, the urine sample should be the middle part.
Primary hypertension
The one, who is a hypertension sufferer or comes from the family with hypertension history, will be more likely to encounter the protein urine.
Kidney disease
The expectant mother has already been a kidney disease sufferer and the disease will get worse after pregnancy, because the pregnancy can speed up the metabolism and the blood circulation, then the kidney burden increased. Or the expectant mother is a latent nephritis sufferer and there is no symptom before pregnancy. In this case, the symptoms usually turn up in the middle or end period of the pregnancy, which should be diagnosed by the blood test.
