RE: [ozmidwifery] Antenatal Urine Analysis
Title: Antenatal Urine Analysis Hi Justine, If you can get hold of the Three Centres Consensus Guidelines on Antenatal Care, it has evidence based guidelines which deal with (do away with!) routine urinalysis. The Guidelines were written by the three tertiary maternity hospitals in Melbourne.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Antenatal Urine Analysis
Hi Justine, The 3 Centres Consensus Guidelines, which is the evidence based guidelines that Victorian doctors and midwives are supposed to be basing their antenatal care on, state that routine urinalysis is not necessary. If, however, there is some other indication such as elevated BP or urinary symptoms then a urinalysis is appropriate. Protein (albumin) in the urine may indicate renal problems or pre-eclampsia, glucose could indicate diabetes but not always, nitrites would indicate a urinary tract infection. You can download the guidelines from the 3 Centres web-site. Hope that helps a little. Leanne.
