What does it mean when there's protein in Urine?

The most common causes, not necessarily your causes:

Blood in Urine: Urinary tract infection(UTI) treatable with antibiotics. Not serious if treated. Very, very common in pregnancy and may have no symptoms.

Protein in Urine: Also a possible sign of a urinary tract infection.

Also possible an early sign of preclampsia. Usually associated with an increase in blood pressure. Once you have been treated for UTI your Midwife will keep an eye on the protein to ensure it goes away.

Small increases in urine protein are rarely a cause for concern. Typically, if a urine test shows a slight increase in protein, the doctor asks for a second urine sample. For the second sample, the doctor may request morning urine, which usually contains the least amount of protein. The doctor may also recommend a 24-hour urine sample, in which all urine from one morning to the following morning is collected, to quantify its protein content. During the 24-hour urine collection, it's important that your son strictly limit his physical activity.

Large amounts of protein in the urine may indicate a serious kidney problem. Normally, the body is very efficient in minimizing the amount of protein loss in the urine.

If a urine test shows a high level of protein loss in the urine, a doctor may recommend other tests — such as a urine analysis and a measurement of serum creatinine and creatinine clearance — to check kidney function.

Also, protein in your urine could me that you are not drinking enough fluids. I had protein in my urine when I was dehydrated and then after I was hydrated through IV, it tested fine.

the blood is traces in the urine. its not always visible to the naked eye. and protein isn't good either. is ur blood pressure high? because this can be a sign of preeclampsia. you should ask ur midwife right away and ask her to explain everything to you. you should always stay well informed during ur pregnancy. ur midwife should tell u what the next step is and what u should do to fix it!

well usually at a doctors appointment they can detect blood in urine just because of sample traces of things that sometimes pass through, it's a sometimes common thing, it's probably nothing serious.

Its common for pregnant women especially at the end. this link will tell you everything.

I know its not good, wish I could give you more details, but you will be fine.
