Can dehydration cause protein in urine during pregnancy?

Question

My last urine test showed trace protein and my gynac asked me to repeat it. Honestly that day i had barely drunk any water in this heat. Can less water be the reason for it or is it something to worry about?

Uff, dehydration toh mere saath bhi hua tha during pregnancy, aur honestly, it made everything worse! Main toh pani peena hi bhool jaati thi. Par protein in urine sounds a bit serious, yaar. Please call your gynac ASAP and tell them; don't wait.

Yes, it can. But it's also a sign of other serious conditions, so talk to your doctor immediately.

Haan, actually maine apne pregnancy apps mein padha tha ki dehydration can sometimes affect your urine test results. But protein in urine can also mean other things, so it's really important to inform your doctor about this. They might want to do further tests to rule out anything serious.

Oh no, really? Main toh abhi 2nd trimester mein hoon aur mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi lagta hai main theek se pani nahi pee rahi. Ye protein in urine ki baat sunke tension ho rahi hai. Kya kisi aur ke saath bhi aisa hua hai? Aap toh please apne doctor se consult karlo jaldi.

Hey, main toh har time kuch na kuch khaane peene mein lagi rehti thi, par pani peena bhool jaati thi kabhi kabhi! Dehydration toh pakka problem karta hai. But protein in urine sounds like something important. Please quickly talk to your gynac and make sure everything is okay with you and the baby!
