This page explains what protein is, how it gets into the urine and what doctors can do to deal with any problems caused by proteinuria. What is protein, and how does it get into the urine? Protein is one of the three main types of chemical that make up our body (the others are fats and sugars). Protein is an important part of diet, and is contained in most types of food. Meat and fish contain large amounts of protein. After you eat protein, it is dissolved in the stomach and absorbed into the body. The protein is then modified and distributed throughout the body in the blood. Protein is an important part of the plasma (watery part) of the blood, and the body does not want to lose protein. Therefore, when the body eliminates waste through the kidneys, protein should be kept in the blood stream. The kidneys make urine by filtering the blood. Normally no protein passes into the urine when the blood is filtered, because protein in the blood is too large to pass through the tiny holes in the kidney filters. However, the filter can be damaged in kidney disease, so that protein can pass into the urine. The filter in the kidney is called a glomerulus, and many of the kidney diseases that cause nephrotic syndrome are called glomerulonephritis.

Se considera hematuria microscópica cuando es detectada solamente a través del microscopio y el aspecto de la orina es ámbar, y macroscópica cuando el paciente observa en su orina un cambio en la coloración. El color rojo rutilante habla de proceso en vías urinarias bajas (vejiga, uretra) y el color oscuro o tipo cocacola habla en favor de tener su origen en las vías urinarias altas (riñón, pelvis). El hecho de que la hematuria sea macro o microscópica, no habla de la severidad de la lesión, sino solamente de patología adyacente.

Proteinuria: Causes Glomerular permeability is affected by molecular weight, size, shape and electrical charge of molecules. It is also influenced by renal hemodynamics. In general, the renal threshold is 68,000 daltons, therefore the glomerular filtrate contains electrolytes (in a similar concentration to plasma) and low molecular weight proteins. These filtered proteins are normally taken up and catabolized by renal tubular epithelial cells, therefore altered renal tubular function can result in these proteins being retained in the urine (tubular proteinuria). Alterations in the glomerular barrier from altered renal blood flow (e.g. passive venous congestion in congestive heart failure) may result in mild proteinuria, whereas glomerular disease will result in a significant and severe proteinuria, consisting mostly of albumin (glomerular proteinuria). Increased filtration of low molecular weight proteins that are in high concentration in blood (hemoglobin, myoglobin, Bence-Jones proteins) will result in a significant proteinuria as the high concentration of these proteins in the filtrate overwhelm the renal tubular resorptive capacity (prerenal proteinuria). Urinary tract inflammation and hemorrhage will also result in proteinuria because of the contribution of plasma proteins. Note that there are also cases in which physiologic proteinuria occurs. These are usually due to alterations in the glomerular barrier and are typically transient in nature. Physiologic proteinuria may occur with exercise and fever. The exact mechanism is unknown, but may be due to alterations in renal hemodynamics.

46. Proteinuria proteinuria. proteinuria refers to the presence of protein in the urine. The term albuminuria may be used interchangeably with proteinuria. http://www.rnceus.com/ua/uapro.html

Proteinuria Proteinuria refers to the presence of protein in the urine. In healthy persons, the urine contains no protein or only a trace amount of protein. Proteins in the urine are comprised of albumin and globulin from the plasma. Because albumin is filtered more easily than globulin, it is the predominant type of protein that may appear in the urine. The term albuminuria may be used interchangeably with proteinuria. Detection of protein in the urine, combined with a microscopic exam of urinary sediment, provides the basis for the differential diagnosis of renal disease. Normally, the glomeruli prevent passage of protein from the blood to the glomerular filtrate. A small amount of filtered plasma proteins and proteins secreted by the nephrons can be found in normal urine; however, in healthy individuals, protein excretion does not exceed 150 mg in 24 hours or 10 mg per 100 ml of any single specimen. Glomerular injury causes increased permeability to plasma proteins, resulting in proteinuria. A persistent finding of proteinuria is the single most important indication of renal disease. If more than a trace of protein is found on a routine UA, a quantitative 24-hour evaluation of protein excretion is done. The dipstick method of checking for protein does not detect the presence of abnormal proteins such as globulins and Bence-Jones proteins excreted in multiple myeloma. Persons with diabetes have a higher than normal potential for renal disease, so they may have regular checks for proteinuria. If random samples are persistently positive for protein, a quantitative (24-hour) sample may be done.

Protein is essential to the structure and function of all living cells and viruses. Many proteins are enzymes or subunits of enzymes. Other proteins play structural or mechanical roles, such as those that form the struts and joints of the "cytoskeleton." Proteins are also nutrient sources for organisms that do not produce their own energy from sunlight. Click the link for more information. in the urine Urine is liquid waste excreted by the kidneys. The urine collects in the bladder for elimination at a convenient time. The latter is called urination, which means expelling the urine from the body through the urethra.

Top Specialty Definition: Proteinuria (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Proteinuria (from protein and urine ) means the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine. Serum protein that get filtered into primary urine are readily absorbed. If protein is present in urine sample it usually means some damage to renal structures or excess of some pathologic protein in serum. With gross proteinuria hypoproteinemia can develop and it results in diminished oncotic pressure (ascites, edema, hydrothorax).

This can be a sign of kidney disease, hypertension or diabetes, but can also be caused by heavy exercise, infection or fever. Proteinuria related to temporary causes such as fever or illness is called "transient proteinuria". This is a benign condition which often resolves itself by the next urine specimen. Another type of harmless proteinuria is called "orthostatic proteinuria" which occurs when a person is standing and resolves itself when he or she lies back down. However, continued proteinuria in a urine specimen can be a sign of a more serious medical problem and should be followed closely by a physician.

Figure 1 Overview Although the cost of screening the general adult population would be equivalent to the cost of caring for 5 hemodialysis patients for one year, effective nontoxic therapy is not available for most renal diseases detected by dipstick urine testing. Thus, screening is not advocated except in those patients with IDDM. Burden of Suffering Over 3,000 patients are on ESRD programs (dialysis and transplantation) in Canada. An additional 2,000 patients enter dialysis programs every year, an annual increase of 7%.
