Hematuria pregnancy: Dipstick hematuria is very common during pregnancy, but rarely signifies a disorder likely to impact pregnancy outcome. It can be a function of pregnancy hormones causing stasis and backup of urine in the kidneys with leakage of blood cells into the urine. If this is not infection and persists after pregnancy, you may need work up for kidney or bladder problems.
