Hi,
Moreover, proteinuria in pregnancy can indicate renal disease unrelated to pre-eclampsia.
Urinary tract infection may cause a transient rise in proteinuria (certainly above the 30mg/mmol described) and should always be ruled out.
She should be under direct observation and should receive treatment under nephrologist and an obstetrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
