Some pregnant women may experience proteinuria during pregnancy, which may directly affect the fetus. So, what are the effects of proteinuria during pregnancy on the fetus?
Because pregnant women can put a lot of pressure on their kidneys, their urine protein levels are generally higher than normal, which is a normal phenomenon. If the value is not particularly high, it will not affect the baby, so there is no need to worry too much about this situation. But if the urine protein value is significantly high, it can cause an increase in the burden on the heart, leading to a lack of oxygen and causing hypoxia in the uterus of female friends, which seriously affects the growth and development of the fetus.
Whether proteinuria in pregnant women will affect the fetus should be judged based on the condition of the disease:
Firstly, some pregnant women may experience increased renal burden during pregnancy, leading to protein loss and urine output. This is a reasonable pregnancy response and is unlikely to have a significant impact on young children, so there is no need to worry.
Secondly, if pregnant women suffer from gestational hypertension during pregnancy, they may also experience proteinuria, which can have adverse effects on both female friends and young children, leading to restricted growth and damage to the nervous system. Symptoms such as oligohydramnios and fetal distress may also occur, and in abnormal situations, fetal death or premature birth may also occur.
Thirdly, proteinuria may also occur when suffering from nephritis or other diseases, depending on the severity.
