Whether high urinary protein during lactation is serious or not depends on the degree of high urinary protein.
If only the test result suggests a mild elevation of urine protein, but the breastfeeding mother is in good health and does not have problems such as hypoproteinemia, hypertension, or abnormal kidney function, then the mother’s condition is not considered serious. The mother can continue to breastfeed, but she should pay attention to her diet and closely observe the changes in her condition.
If the urine protein is found to be significantly elevated on examination, and the mother is also suffering from hypertension, hypoproteinemia, abnormal renal function and other problems, then the situation is more serious, and the mother needs to stop breastfeeding and undergo treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
In addition, if a large amount of high-protein food is consumed before the test, the urine protein test may be abnormal, and the test can be repeated after dietary adjustments are made to reconfirm the physical condition.
