24 hour urine specimen early.

Kayla

Okay guys. I was wondering if anyone else due in october has already had to do the 24 urine specimen to look for protein and if you have and the levels were high what happens next? I’m 16 weeks today and turned in the specimen at 14 weeks. My doctor went over the results yesterday and said that the protein levels were already elevated, (372 mg for the 24 hour period) but didn’t really explain what that means. I plan on calling to see if maybe a nurse could explain it further, but thought I might stop here too to see if anybody has already dealt with this to ease my mind a little. Thanks y’all!
