Management of Suspected Preeclampsia Based on 6-hour Versus 24-hour Urine Protein Collection

Management of Pregnancies With Suspected Preeclampsia Based on 6-hour Versus 24-hour Urine Protein Collection - a Randomized Double Blind Controlled Pilot Study

In this trial - the investigators plan to study the efficacy of pregnancy management in cases of suspcted preeclampsia, based on a 6-hour urine collection for protein, as compared to the standard 24-hour collection. For participants hospitalized at the maternal fetal unit at our institution, one sample of urine collected over 6 hours will be analyzed, and a second one following an additional 18 hours. Participants will be blinded to the urine collection result used to manage their pregnancy (actual 24 hour collection versus calculated 24-hour collection), as will be their attending physicians. An external physician will compare the two urine collection results, and in case only one is pathological (>300 mg), will notify the research team and the attending physician.
