Brief Answer:
This is emergency. Needs immediate evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) Lack of urine output in a woman with 37 weeks pregnancy with PIH is a matter of concern.
2) I think you should get your renal function test done immediately to see if your kidneys are getting affected and your PIH is worsening.
3) Though your tests were fine last week, there is rapid deterioration in term pregnancy. Hence you need to get evaluated with blood pressure and blood test screening now soon.
4) Please visit your gynecologist. If you dont get appointment, go to ER.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
