Renal ultrasound during pregnancy - advice pls

Hi im 11 weeks pregnant. For 4 weeks now I have had 2++ protein in my urine so last week hospital did some kidney function tests. Something came back really high so now my consultant is sending me for a renal ultrasound. Has any1 had one of these before in pregnancy and what does it mean? The urine samples are coming back clear so they dont think I have an infection. In March this year I delivered a baby boy by emergency c section at 27+6 cos of severe pre eclampsia and he passed away at one week old. My consultant told me yesterday that everything that is happening makes it more likely that I will get pre eclampsia again. I am so scared of getting pre eclampsia again cos I know how poorly I was before and I couldn't survive if anything happened to this baby too. My hubby just keeps telling me that everything will be ok but am finding it really hard to be positive at the moment and cant stop crying. Any advice pls

I have high LFT's so was sent for a liver ultrasound last wk, it's just like having a normal pregnancy scan but they scan a different area they found that i have gallstones but blood results still are high for the LFT's.
I'm sure it's really difficult for you and your hubby, but u need 2 stay positive it mite be something minor and if your urine is clear maybe it was just one of those things!
I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and keep us updated! ;)
