BR: Protein in urine

SapphyrEyes

I forgot to add that last night I had a little in there.  Nurse said not to worry yet, but to keep an eye if I start swelling.  My BP is still good at 100/60.  Does anyone know why this happens?  And is there something I'm not supposed to eat that would prevent it?

it can be caused by dehydration. If your BP is okay you are probably fine. Good luck!

What cindy said.   In the meantime add in some more water but don't drink it plain.  Add in some lemon juice or Emergen-C.  It will help it absorb better.

Also, make sure you are getting enough protein.  I know...I say that all the time.  But really is does help to hold off pre-e.

Chiro today recommended the Brewer's Diet so I'll add more eggs and cheese to the rotation right now.  I had a roast beef sandwich at lunch.  Bland and blech!

What PP said and make sure you are eating at regular intervals.  With starvation, your body breaks down muscles and that spills more protein and your kidneys can't handle it.
