I had my blood drawn at the hospital transfusion center and also provided a random urine sample for protein testing.

Urinalysis:

Creatinine, urine sample: result 8.58 (Unit mmol/L)
Total protein/Creatinine: result 0.016 (Unit g/mmol, Ref. interval Total protein, urine sample: result 0.140 (Unit g/L)

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on these updated results, since I just went back to have some new random urine tests done. I'm 35 weeks pregnant now, and it's been about two weeks since my last set of labs.

URINALYSIS: random urine sample

Creatinine, urine sample: result 16.97 (Unit mmol/L)
Total protein/Creatinine: result 0.015 (Unit g/mmol, Ref. interval Total protein, urine sample: result 0.260 (Unit g/L)

Thank you all so much.

Could someone please help me make sense of these results? I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant, and so far, I’ve gained about 28 pounds. I am managing hypertension with medication—taking Aldomet (Methyldopa) at 500 mg twice a day. (Just as a side note, I’ve actually been dealing with high blood pressure since long before I was pregnant, so I'm already on a treatment plan for it.) I had some blood work done at the lab and also did a one-time urine protein test.

Urinalysis:

Creatinine, urine sample: result 8.58 (Unit mmol/L)
Total Protein/Creatinine ratio: result 0.016 (Unit g/mmol, Ref. interval Total Protein, urine sample: result 0.140 (Unit g/L)

Hematology/Coagulation:

Prothrombin Time: INR value 0.89 (normal range 0.85 - 1.15)
PT: measured value 25 S (normal range 23 - 34 S)
Thrombin Time: measured value 15 S (normal range 16 - 21 S)
D-DIMER: measured value 2.13 mg/L (normal range < 0.50 mg/L)
Fibrinogen: measured value 4.7 g/L (normal range 1.8 - 3.5 g/L)
AT III: measured value 123 % (normal range 83 - 118 %)

Thanks so much in advance!
