Trace Protien
Re: Trace Protien
If your baseline was 108 you may dip trace routinely. Ask, but providers are frequently unconcerned about trace protein--I always have it. The dipstick only measures concentration, so if your urine is particularly dilute or concentrated, it will throw off the dip.

Re: Trace Protien
No they have not had me do one yet during this pregnancy. They did say that I would do one at 20 weeks but did not mention it last week when I was there

Re: Trace Protien
The dipsticks are not very accurate, but it may be worth asking about. Have you done a 24 hour urine collection/test recently? If you haven't, you might want to ask your doctor when/if they plan to order one. I hope it is nothing to worry about!

Trace Protien
So a brief history- my DD was born at 29 weeks and 5 days due to PreE. I am now 22 weeks along again and have been on BP meds since 13 weeks. I am just curious if I should be concerned that my urine showed trace protein at my last appointment ? The nurse never commented on it and I did not see the results till I was home. Do you think I should request a 24 hour urine at my next appointment? I know my baseline before pregnancy was 108 but this was the first time this pregnancy the dipstick has showed protein
