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?

Trace protein in early pregnancy is usually not serious, especially if one time. It can be due to minor dehydration or exertion. Keep an eye on BP and swelling. If protein persists or increases, it may indicate a kidney or BP issue and needs follow up. Also get done urine routine to rule out infection.
