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 sir. Concerning my urine test report we found that there is presence of protein and a few blood cells in the urine whereas the creatinine and urea are normal. How does it affect my kidney?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Earlier, my urine was foamy, and a previous urine report showed trace amounts of protein. So, I underwent further urine tests including USG Abdomen & Pelvis and microalbumin tests. I have attached these reports and would appreciate help in understanding if everything is okay now. Currently, my urine is clear.

What does traces of protein level in urine signify?
