urine
Hi everyone,
Just a query, wondering what other places do with urine testing in
pregnancy. At the moment we are doing first visit MSU's and otherwise
only testing (dipstick) if symptomatic, +/- MSU. Recently there have
been a few women admitted with pyleonephritis, one who ended up in ICU in
septic shock. So am wondering if it is worthwhile testing with each
visit. I thought that the thing with pregnancy was that women could have
UTI's and be asymptomatic.
Cheers
Michelle
