Gestational oedema with proteinuria - what does this mean
Gestational oedema with proteinuria is a condition that occurs during pregnancy in which the pregnant woman experiences swelling in various parts of the body due to the accumulation of excess fluid, as well as the presence of protein in the urine. it is usually caused by an increase in the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which leads to an increase in the production of aldosterone, a hormone involved in the regulation of fluid balance in the body.
What happens during the disease - gestational oedema with proteinuria
Gestational oedema with proteinuria is a condition that develops during pregnancy due to an increase in the volume of extracellular fluid and an increase in the permeability of the capillaries, resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the tissues and an increased excretion of protein in the urine. this is thought to be due to increased levels of progesterone, which causes an increase in capillary permeability, and increased levels of aldosterone, which causes the kidneys to retain more sodium and water.
