Dr Nikola i really need your help.

i was sent straight to hospital today as i had again protein and nitrents in my urine the doctor said in antenatal my bp was slightly raised over a few weeks.
they checked baby was fine

i have been feeling flushy weak and back pain for about two weeks!
but they took a blood test.

which showed 96.8 of infection. the doctor was happy for me to leave said she wouldnt give me more antibiotocs as i had a weeks course two weeks ago.

i didnt have chance to tell her about her about my tooth leaking puss. but i told the midwife she just shrugged

is this tooth causing to show high infection ? or my urine.
am i at any risk

Tooth infection, no matter how severe it was, can't cause proteins or nitrates to be present in the urine.

Proteins in the urine (proteinuria) could be caused either by an urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney failure.

Nitrates in the urine indicates that there might be present an UTI.

im never talking about this tooth infection again i asked my ob/gyn about it and she laughed and said its to farfrom blood im just over paranoid.

sorry for repeating dental questions and sepsa im a pain

i would like to ask a little somthing in my last antenatal appointment they say my pulse was racing 146 i think.

Could this be due to me being anxious during medical checkups

Yes, anxiety is a very common cause for pulse racing.

Urinary tract infections (UTI), including kidney infections, are very common in pregnant women because of the urine stasis. UTI require serious aproach which means proper treatment on time. Untreated UTI can affect the kidneys and compromise the pregnancy.

Doctor

Your pulse is normal for a pregnant woman.

You may have urinary tract infection but you are still very far away from a kidney failure. Blood urea and creatinin are parametars used for estimating the kidneys' function.
