Pregnant women need to have their urine tested regularly, especially in the last months of pregnancy to detect proteinuria. The appearance of proteinuria in the urine reflects a number of pathological conditions that need to be monitored and treated promptly. So what are the causes and mechanisms of proteinuria during pregnancy?

Assessing the amount of protein in the urine of pregnant women is an important test in pregnancy to monitor the health of the kidneys and the whole body. Detection of proteinuria can allow for early diagnosis and intervention for complications such as preeclampsia and glomerulonephritis, which can affect the delivery process. Furthermore, proteinuria in pregnancy alone is also a risk factor. Therefore, quantitative determination of protein in the urine of pregnant women is essential.

Normal urine contains a small amount of protein. Proteinuria is a condition that occurs when larger than normal amounts of protein are present in the urine. Although proteinuria can occasionally occur in healthy individuals, proteinuria is essential in the diagnosis of kidney and urinary tract diseases.
