33 weeks pregnant -high protein in urine - other than pre-e, what else could cause it? bp has been slightly high but stable and has not gone up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney function: Typically high protein in the urine is a sign that protein is leaking through the membranes in the kidney. Anything that causes damage to the kidney can cause this. Lupus or other autoimmune kidney problems can cause this. Sometimes blood in the urine can cause increased protein as well.
