10 Preeclampsia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Proteinuria
Proteinuria is an interesting condition in which patients experience proteins building up in the urine. This is one of the most common signs of preeclampsia and occurs when proteins are improperly filtered by your kidney. These proteins, which usually remain in the bloodstream, are transferred to the urine when preeclampsia damages the filter that the kidneys use to manage the blood.
Make sure you get your urine tested by your doctor whenever you see them to ensure that there’s not too much protein in your urine.
