Hello, I am 28 years old and 21 weeks pregnant. My doctor asked me to get an OGCT test done. For that, she asked me to dissolve G75 in 2 glasses of water and give a sample after 2 hours. Does G75 have any adverse effects on the growing fetus? Is G75 safe to be consumed in pregnancy?

G75 is a glucose powder used for the OGCT (Oral Glucose Challenge Test) during pregnancy. It helps check for gestational diabetes and is routinely used in pregnancy. It does not harm the growing fetus and is considered safe. Mild nausea may occur after drinking it, which is normal. You can book the OGCT test as advised to monitor your sugar levels in pregnancy.

Hello Doctor, within the last week my whole body has become swollen. I also have constipation with heavy gas in my stomach. After checking my urine test report, my doctor said that albumin is leaking into my urine and mentioned that it may be related to a kidney problem. Please advise

I am a 21 year old college going girl. Last week I had a problem of swollen eyes. The doctor advised me to do blood and urine tests. As per my report, I have protein in my urine. Please guide me on this problem?

My wife is 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. On 31st August 2022, her urine report indicates a trace of protein. Earlier on 19th August 2022, there was no trace of protein in the urine. Is this a matter of serious concern?
