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.

What causes a negative protein in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know about the lab report of my father. Is there any problem in the urinary tract? What does it mean when protein levels are high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor, good evening. I got my urine test and blood test done today and received the reports. In urine examination, proteins were positive. In the blood report, total blood count was 5.1 with reference 3.8 to 4.8, MCH was 26 with reference 27 to 32, MCHC was 30 with reference 31.5 to 34.5, white blood count was 17,570 with reference 4,000 to 10,000, and lymphocytes were 14 with reference 20 to 40. Could you please advise what these readings indicate and suggest appropriate medication?
