Protein in urine - any advice greatly needed!

[koshka1984]

Hello everyone,

I am 36 weeks and for the last month or so I have had very high levels of protein in urine (2/3 ++s)
but have no other symptoms of pre-eclampsia.
Obviously i have been going to hospital frequently, but i just wondered what the protein actually did to your body, the only one i can find info about is pre eclampisa.

TIA xkoshkax

The protein doesn't do anything it can be a sign that of infection or that that the kidneys are not clearing effectively enough which can be the case in pre eclampsia.

ahh right thanks. am being induced on sat so i was a bit worried about LO/me.

i had protein at 36 weeks. they queried a uti which was negative and was not pre-eclampsia.just one of these things for me. HTH good luck for the birth

thanks ladies.
