Extractions: Proteinuria is a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. People with diabetes, hypertension, or certain family backgrounds are at risk for proteinuria. Proteinuria may be a sign that your kidneys are damaged and that you are at risk for end-stage renal disease. You may have proteinuria without noticing any signs or symptoms. Testing is the only way to find out how much protein you have in your urine. Groups at risk for proteinuria and kidney failure include African Americans, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Pacific Islander Americans, people who are older or overweight, and people who have a family history of kidney disease.

Extractions: Back to table of contents Proteinuria The child with protein in their urine is a common finding in pediatric practice. Protein may be found in the urine of healthy children. The incidence increases with age and the majority of protein is albumin. Mechanism of Proteinuria Increased glomerular filtration. The protein must pass through the glomerular capillary wall. Nephrotic Syndrome- minimal change disease and focal glomerulosclerosis Glomerulonephritis Drugs Decreased tubular reabsorption. Most filtered protein is reabsorbed proximally. With tubular damage, there will be increased protein in the urine Transport defects- Fanconi's Syndrome, Cystinosis Toxins- Penicillins, Heavy metals, Aminoglycosides, old tetracycline Ischemic injury- shock, ATN, Endotoxemia Obstructive uropathy, Polycystic disease Increased secretion - normally some protein is secreted but may increase with exercise, acute renal failure, transplant rejection, and stones. Detection of Protein in the Urine Dipsticks - Very sensitive and changes color secondary to reaction of tetrabromophenol with amino acids. Have false positives with ph >8, concentrated urine, long immersion time, or presence of wbcs or bacteria. Reading of 1+ needs to rechecked and if continues positive, timed collections should be done. Timed Collection - technically may be difficult. Doesn't allow for diurnal variations and effect of activity on proteinuria. In adults, >150 mg. 24 hours is positive. In children, > 4 mg./metered squared/hour is positive.

Extractions: Advanced Search PROBLEM-ORIENTED DIAGNOSIS P roteinuria on initial dipstick urinalysis testing is found in as much as 17 percent of selected populations. Although a wide variety of conditions, ranging from benign to lethal, can cause proteinuria, fewer than 2 percent of patients whose urine dipstick test is positive for protein have serious and treatable urinary tract disorders. A knowledgeable approach to this common condition is required because the diagnosis has important ramifications for health, insurance eligibility and job qualifications. TABLE 1 Orthostatic (postural) disorder Definition of Proteinuria Twenty-four hundred years ago, Hippocrates noted the association between "bubbles on the surface of the urine" and kidney disease. Today, proteinuria is defined as urinary protein excretion of greater than 150 mg per day. Urinary protein excretion in healthy persons varies considerably and may reach proteinuric levels under several circumstances. Most dipstick tests (e.g., Albustin, Multistix) that are positive for protein are a result of benign proteinuria, which has no associated morbidity or mortality (

Extractions: Email To A Friend Home : Proteinuria On this page: Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect you from infection, help your blood coagulate, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating through your body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine unless the kidneys are damaged. The main protein that is most likely to appear in urine is albumin. Albumin is smaller and therefore more likely to escape through the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when the test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. Inflammation in the glomeruli is called glomerulonephritis

Extractions: What is proteinuria? Proteinuria means the appearance of protein in the urine. It is usually detected by a simple dipstick test of the urine. In some circumstances it is detected on a routine check. Usually there are no symptoms from it. What causes proteinuria? Protein should not normally appear in the urine in detectable quantities. It is usually kept in the blood by the filtering units (glomeruli) within the kidney. Proteinuria is an indicator that the kidneys are damaged in some way. Diseases that affect the filtering units themselves are the most common cause of heavy proteinuria. Sometimes this is called glomerulonephritis, meaning inflammation of the glomeruli. Just as some examples, any of the causes of nephrotic syndrome could be causes of proteinuria. What is the protein?

Proteinuria is often one of the first signs of renal disease and is often asymptomatic. Proteinuria is a finding in almost every form of glomerular disease. In a healthy kidney, the glomerular capillary wall acts as a barrier to prevent proteins from entering the urine based on size and electrical charge of the proteins. This is dependent on the integrity of the capillary wall. The glomerular capillary wall consists of three layers: the fenestrated endothelium, the glomerular basement membrane, and the epithelial cells attached to the glomerular basement membrane. The primary barrier to the filtration of protein is the glomerular basement membrane. If the glomerulus is intact, only trace amounts of albumin escape in the glomerular filtrate. Proteins that are smaller than albumin (

proteinuria is a kidney disorder resulting in an abnormally high amount of protein in the urine. Microalbuminuria is a type of proteinuria.
http://www.nephrologychannel.com/proteinuria/

Extractions: Overview Proteinuria is an abnormally high amount of protein in the urine. Proteins in the blood, like albumin and immunoglobulin, help coagulation (clotting), balance bodily fluids, and fight infection. The kidneys remove wastes from protein-rich blood through millions of tiny filtering screens called glomeruli. Most proteins are too large to pass through the glomeruli into the urine. The glomeruli are negatively charged, so they repel the negatively charged proteins. Thus, a size and charge barrier keeps protein molecules from entering the urine. But when the glomeruli are damaged, proteins of various sizes pass through them and are excreted in the urine.

Normally, proteins move around in our blood, carrying food, hormones and medicine to all parts of the body. They also help keep water inside tiny blood vessels. Return to top Proteinuria is the name of a medical condition. It means protein is in the urine. As blood moves through the kidneys, the kidneys filter out waste products, excess fluid and salts. The clean blood cycles back through the body. Most proteins are too big to go through the kidneys, so usually no protein is found in urine. If your doctor finds protein in your child's urine, that means your child's kidney may not be working as they shouldpossibly because of inflammation (swelling). Sometimes infection or toxic chemicals damage the kidneys, and this makes protein show up in the urine. Dipping a special strip of paper into a sample of urine tells your doctor if protein is in it. If only a little protein is in the urine, your child probably has a benign (harmless) condition such as orthostatic proteinuria (see below). Your doctor might do a few other tests to make sure.

Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information A patient information handout on proteinuria, written by the author of this article , is provided on page 1158. Proteinuria is a common laboratory finding in children. It can be identified as either a transient or a persistent finding and can represent a benign condition or a serious disease. A rapid but qualitative assessment of proteinuria can be made using dipstick or sulfosalicylic acid methods. More precise quantitation is obtained by measuring protein excretion in 24-hour urine samples or by calculating the protein/creatinine ratio in random urine samples. Orthostatic proteinuria is a benign condition characterized by the presence of protein in urine samples collected in the upright position during the day and its absence in samples collected in the supine position. Persistent proteinuria and proteinuria associated with hematuria or other signs of renal disease carry a more severe prognosis. The latter conditions require referral to a pediatric nephrologist for further evaluation, which may include renal biopsy. M ost healthy children excrete small amounts of protein in their urine, representing so-called physiologic proteinuria.

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed (1) Introduction Proteinuria may be the first and only evidence of renal disease. Most healthy persons excrete up to 150 mg of urinary protein daily, which may vary from negative to 2+ on urine dipstick analysis. Although the prevalence of proteinuria on routine screening of healthy individuals has been as high as 3.5 percent, the incidence of renal disease in this population is very low. It is clear that the discovery of proteinuria necessitates a thorough evaluation to separate these healthy individuals from those with significant renal disease. (2) Urinalysis (3) Evaluation Once proteinuria is detected by dipstick, the next step should be to obtain a detailed history, physical exam, and urine microscopy. This includes family history as well as prior evaluations and medications (i.e., NSAIDs). The exam should look for evidence of renal or systemic disease, focusing on blood pressure, pulse, fundi, cardiovascular, skin, abdominal (palpable kidneys or bruits), and the presence or absence of edema. (4) Functional Proteinu ria If no such evidence is found, repeat dipstick analysis should be done two or three times. If these subsequent qualitative tests, in well-concentrated specimens, are negative for protein, the initial proteinuria is transient or functional. Functional proteinuria may be seen in conditions such as high fever, emotional stress, cold exposure, strenuous exercise, infection, and other acute medical illnesses. Idiopathic transient proteinuria is a common cause of proteinuria in young adults, especially men. It is characterized by proteinuria on a routine urinalysis that disappears on repeat testing and is found in asymptomatic, healthy individuals with normal renal function.

Extractions: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation National Guidelines National Kidney Foundation: Assessment of Proteinuria DEFINITION Proteinuria usually reflects an increase in glomerular permeability for normally non-filtered plasma macromolecules such as albumin. A 24-hour urine collection containing more than 150 mg of protein is abnormal. Significant proteinuria is suspected when a dipstick test of the urine is persistently positive for protein. In such a situation the daily protein excretion will usually exceed 300-500 mg per day. Since the dipstick method can detect urine protein concentration of as little as 30 mg/dL, a very concentrated urine specimen might test positive for protein even though the quantitative amount of proteinuria is less than 150 mg/day. of proteins in the urine.
