Protein in the urine: The presence of protein in the urine is considered to be an important factor for making the diagnosis of pre- eclampsia. babys Gender-of-baby. The disease causes damage to the filtering function of the kidneys (repairs itself after delivery), which allows protein to "spill" into the urine. Even though it is a reliable sign of pre-eclampsia, protein in the urine very often does not occur until the disease has progressed to a later stage. How is Pre-eclampsia Different from a Normal Pregnancy?Many adjustments in the mother's body happen during a pregnancy to allow the fetus to grow normally, and to help the mother's systems handle the additional "work" required by the pregnancy. babys Predict gender of baby. Some adjustments do not happen the same way in the woman with pre- eclampsia. In a normal pregnancy the fluid part of the mother's blood increases dramatically, resulting in a 35-50% increase in the total volume. This helps serve the added needs of the uterus and placenta, among other functions. babys Babies. In the woman with pre-eclampsia, the blood volume increases only a small amount or not at all. The "resistance", or stiffness of the blood vessels throughout the mother's body normally decreases, allowing free flow of blood to the placenta and uterus. Pregnancy hormones and changes in the blood vessel regulating mechanisms "relax" the vessel walls. With pre- eclampsia, instead of relaxing, the blood vessels spasm. Normally, the pregnant woman's blood pressure drops a little in mid- pregnancy, partly because of the increase in volume of blood, and partly due to the relaxing of the blood vessels. With pre-eclampsia, the blood pressure does not drop in mid-pregnancy, and the blood pressure increases in the last weeks. With the increase in blood volume and relaxed vessels, the normal pregnant woman gets extra blood flow to the uterus, kidneys, liver and other organs. In the woman with pre-eclampsia, the vessels are in spasm, and this blood flow is decreased instead.
