Leukocytes in the urine during pregnancy
From the moment of conception to the genitourinary system of a womanthe load doubles - the more a baby grows in the womb, the more difficult it is for the kidneys to remove metabolic products from the body. Therefore, it is not for nothing that a doctor appoints a urine test before each consultation. Any deviation from the norm indicates a violation of the system or on the pathology of fetal development.
How to prepare
Often a bad or inaccurate result is obtained if the future mother was not preparing herself properly for delivery. It is absolutely necessary to follow the basic rules for collecting the material:
on the eve of delivery, exclude from the diet acidic, salty and spicy food, use meat in small quantities;
The container for the fence should be sterile, you can buy special containers in the pharmacy;
Collect the material in the morning on an empty stomach;
do not forget to wash yourself with soap in advance;
you need to collect the average urine - first first 2-3 seconds to urinate in the toilet, then in the container, and then again in the toilet;
for 2 hours bring the container to the hospital.
The value of leukocytes varies - from 6 to 8 attotal analysis, and up to 2000 per 1 ml by Nechiporenko. If the indicator is higher than the indicated norm, this may indicate inflammatory processes of the urinary system. Exceeding up to 10-20 in the field of vision indicates minor inflammation of the external organs or about improper preparation for surrender. If the excess is 40 or more, while the cloudy urine, then the case is much more serious - most likely, you have kidney problems, and you need to immediately be examined and treated to avoid complications for both the mother and the baby.
Protein in the urine
When a woman has no health problems, thenprotein in the urine should not be at all. If, nevertheless, you have found it, then prepare for the appearance of pyelonephritis, toxicosis or proteinuria. This may be aching in the lower back. Here you can not do without a doctor - the earlier you start treatment, the less complications thereafter. In this case, you need to forget about physical exercises, no stresses and feelings.
What the Bacteria Say
Here everything is crystal clear - bacteria should ideally beshould not, and their presence indicates a kidney disease or cystitis. The appearance of bacteria and leukocytes together is a sign of an infectious disease. At the examination, urine culture is taken to flora to determine the type of bacteria. And only then you can choose the right treatment and the right antibiotic.
Pregnancy Sugar
For the second half of pregnancy the appearance of sugaris quite normal, since the normal level of the baby's blood glucose level increases. If the indicators are insignificant, you should not worry, but when they are consistently high, then, perhaps, it is diabetes mellitus. A blood test for sugar and a test for glucose tolerance will confirm or refute the diagnosis.
Additional indicators
The presence of salts in urine indicates a change in the reaction of urine. Ideally, these indicators are not significant and only amorphous urates and oxalates are allowed in small amounts.
Ketones, erythrocytes, acetone and bilirubins should be absent - their presence indicates serious diseases.
Remember, if the urine is transparent, most likely, everything is in order, and the muddy one is a sign of deviations or diseases.
And do not try to decipher the analysis yourself- contact your gynecologist, and do not invent yourself what is not really. And do not be afraid of urinary incontinence - late in life is a very common phenomenon, try to just go to the toilet more often.
