Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Two of pregnancy's trickier problems are gestational diabetes and preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure), but both have markers that show up in your urine. The presence of glucose (or sugar) may indicate the beginning of gestational diabetes, while protein in urine during pregnancy can be a sign of preeclampsia. PROTEIN in the urine during pregnancy can also be a sign of a UTI (urinary tract infection), which can easily be treated.your urine findings too indicate mild UTI PUS CELLS 4-7/HPF,BACTERIA,RBCS 1-4/HPF AND ALBUMIN 1+ INDICATE INFECTION.A course of antibiotics which are safe during pregnancy chosen by your doctor will treat the infection.
hope this will help you!
take care!

Hi
Thanks for your query.
The urinalysis shows pus cells and bacteria. While this may be non significant, it could represent a UTI. So its better to get a urine culture done.
The other finding is 1+ positive albumin. This could again be due to UTI. But if there is no infection then you should get your Blood pressure checked and a UPCR test done and see a physician with these test results.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
