Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM,
I understand that you have 954mg % protein in 24 hours. However this amount of protein is not expected in pregnancy.
Presence of protein in urine may be due to some issue with the kidney or a condition called preeclampsia where there is a rise of blood pressure during pregnancy. So you will need an evaluation for the cause of this protein in urine. I suggest that you see your obstetrician, get a blood pressure as well as kidney function and renal scan done to look for any other cause and then only a proper management plan can be decided.
There are no home remedies as such and treatment will depend upon the cause.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
