Sugar, keytones, second gravity, and Protine in Urine at 26 weeks pregnant
Here is the story:
I was at the ER visiting my best friend who is a ER nurse. There was noone there so we went and listened to the heart beat, sounded good, took my BP that also was good at 125/75. Then I needed to pee so I took a chem stick and check the urine as well. It said that I had keytones, second gravity, sugar, and protine. It also was the strongest color it can go on the stick. So because of this, I went to my ambulance and check my BGL it was 5.7. That night I spent the night crying my eyes out because I know that having protine and sugar is NOT a good thing. The sugar I am not to worried about right now because this week I am going for a tolerance test, the big one. But the protine I am. I have no other signs of "toximia". Not much edema, only very little on the ankles, nothing in the legs, arms, or face. I just had a check up on the 4th and my BP was 104/70. The time before that it was 125/72. So my Bp was normal, nothing to be worried about there. So why is there protine in my urine? What could this mean? My Dr. is away for the week-end and I can't get a hold of her until tomorrow afternoon, so I thought I would see what I can get on-line for an answer. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!

Thank you for your help. That makes sence as why the glucose and protien showed up in the test. I kind of knew already why the ketones and gravity was there. Thank you again!

If you were dehydrated (high specific gravity and ketones would suggest that) your urine can falsely show protein. The thing to do is to drink plenty of water each day, be sure you are getting enough healthy foods to eat, and test again. Don't drink a lot of sugary things.
