Is Presence Of Protein In Urine During Pregnancy A Sign Of Pre-eclampsia?
Question: my bp in 124 over 82 and i had trace protien in my urine and i am 32 weeks pregnant, is this a sign of pre eclampsia
Brief Answer:
This is not a sign of preeclampsia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi wani. I will be answering your concerns.
A BP of 124/82 and trace protein in urine is not a sign of preeclampsia.
However please note that a rise in the diastolic blood pressure of at least 15 mmHG and a rise in the systolic blood pressure of at least 30 mmHg as compared to your earlier BP (recorded in early pregnancy) is also considered as a sign of preeclampsia.
Is this your first pregnancy? Do attend antenatal follow ups regularly. The incidence of preeclampsia is one in 10-12 pregnancies. So relax and enjoy your pregnancy.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns,
I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

Brief Answer:
Occurrence of preeclampsia in the second pregnancy is extremely unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Did you have preeclampsia in first pregnancy? If yes, then there is a small possibility of recurrence.
If you did not have preeclampsia in first pregnancy, its occurrence in the second pregnancy is extremely unlikely. So do not worry at all.
I hope this is helpful.
