Preeclampsia?

Stelllar

I just did a 24 hour urine collection a few days ago. I am signed up for the lab to get the results emailed to me. I received my results this morning and it says my protein/creation ratio is 186. The chart says anything above 84 is considered high. Does anyone have any idea what these numbers mean? My doctors office usually calls later in the day with testing results so I won't get a call until about 3....but I would assume if it were serious they would be calling right away? Does anyone have any experience with this or what it means? Could it possibly be preeclampsia? (I know no one here can say for sure what it is...just wondering if anyone has any idea what these numbers mean)

The numbers are confusing me since there are three results.
Protein/Creatinine ratio - 186 which is very out of range
Protein value - 120 - in range
Creatinine value - 0.65 - in range.


I just went looking for my results for my last 24 hour urine collection results which was in June. My Protein/Creatinine ratio was 82. Huge difference to what it is now.

I am 30 weeks tomorrow. I have high blood pressure and have been taking medicine for it since about 12 weeks.

I have it and my numbers were like 430 lol...I was told anything under 350 okay.

I have it as well and mine have fluctuated between 150ish and 498 since I was 26 weeks (33 now). They don't want it to get to 5,000 or 5 grams and if it does that's when they deliver. Along with that ratio  blood tests are also an indicator is what I've been told. For example my blood tests are all normal but I have protein in my urine and high blood pressure so I'm on bed rest. Bed rest is hard but it's working and my levels have not increased too crazy. I was told anything above 300 was a  diagnosis of preeclampsia if you had another indicator as well but that number might be different everywhere. 
Be patient (easy to say right?) as stress only makes it worse and that baby and you will be ok! Good luck!

I just got the results from my second 24 hr urine and the first one was 470 and this one was 440...they said it pretty much stayed the same. Otherwise the dr told me today I'll likely deliver at 37 weeks at the rate I'm going.

That's great news @jenesiso! I'm hoping to make it to 37 as well!

I got the same news today as well my numbers went from 235 for the first 24hr to 348 at the 2nd. My blood pressure has been high too. They said we will plan to induce at 37 weeks.
