Hello everyone, i wrote this on my birth month board and just discovered this section and maybe I will get more responses.
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. This past week it has been higher than usual and I am definitely feeling different. My MFM even warned me that my body may start reacting differently to my high blood pressure.

I had had the steroid shots and they did great work. My 34weeker is now a happy, healthy 2yo with no delays. I have my fingers and toes crossed that your body holds out a long as possible! Good luck!!
