Hi Doctor, I am 29 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I did my regular routine test and today I got the report. In my report it shows protein trace and bacteria present but I have no high blood pressure, no weight gain, and no edema.

Trace protein and bacteria can suggest mild UTI. Since there is no high BP or swelling, preeclampsia is unlikely. Consult your doctor, they may prescribe safe antibiotics if needed. Maintain hydration and good hygiene.

Is protein in urine bad?

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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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
