At every visit my gynac asks for a urine sample and i saw albumin written on the report. Dont really understand what they are checking for. Can someone explain in simple words na?
It is basically to monitor your kidney health and check for high BP. I remember doing this while dealing with horrible morning sickness and being dehydrated. Make sure you drink lots of water before the test so the sample is clear.
Oh, my doctor also prescribed this recently! Is it done in every trimester or just once? I got it done last week but don't really know what the normal values should be.
They do this test to check for protein in urine, which helps detect blood pressure issues early. I had thyroid so I had to do many regular tests and follow-ups with my doctor to keep things in check. It's a standard test, so just get it done and show it to your gynac.
Listen, don't worry, this is a very routine test they do for every pregnant sister. It just checks for protein to ensure your blood pressure is normal and your kidneys are happy. If you ever have severe headache or swelling, let your doctor know immediately, okay?
Yaar, don't stress too much about this test! It's just a routine check to make sure everything is smooth. They check it to rule out preeclampsia, which is super common to monitor. Just get it done, it's normal!
