Question
My wife is 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. On 31st August, her urine report indicates a trace of protein. Earlier, on 19th August, 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.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Urine Protein- Quantitative- Spot Urine Test or Take a Creatinine Test Test
