Hello,

I think you may need to do a total blood count and biochemical blood balance.
Having pregnancy, gestational diabetes is possible.
Also, measure the blood pressure and do urine analysis for albuminuria.
Also, increased blood pressure may cause this situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
