Protein in urine (proteinuria) symptoms, causes, diagnosis ...Urine protein, known as proteinuria or albuminuria, is the presence of an excessive amount of protein, particularly albumin, in the urine. It's a sign that healthy kidneys, which normally filter waste while keeping proteins in the blood, are damaged and allowing these vital molecules to leak out. While a small amount of protein is normal, persistently high levels can indicate underlying conditions like kidney damage from diabetes or high blood pressure, and is a significant risk factor for developing further complications or worsening kidney function. What Protein Does in the Body Proteins are essential molecules that help build and repair body tissues, fight infections, and regulate fluid balance. Albumin is the most common type of protein normally found in the blood. How the Kidneys Work Healthy kidneys act as filters, removing extra water and waste from the blood to create urine. They have a filtration barrier that prevents large protein molecules from passing through and returning to the blood. Why Protein Appears in Urine When the kidney's filters are damaged, they can no longer effectively prevent proteins like albumin from leaking into the urine. When to Be Concerned Temporary protein: in the urine can be caused by temporary factors like intense exercise, dehydration, stress, or exposure to cold. Persistent and increasing amounts: of protein are more serious and are a key indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This condition can be a sign of damage even if your blood tests for overall kidney function (eGFR) are still in the normal range. Common Causes High blood pressure (hypertension): A significant cause of kidney damage and protein in the urine. Diabetes: A major risk factor for kidney disease, where proteinuria is often an early sign of declining kidney function. What Happens Next If protein is detected in a urine sample, your doctor will likely recommend repeat testing to check if it's a temporary issue or a sign of persistent kidney damage. A doctor may order further tests, such as a 24-hour urine test, to assess the amount of protein and determine the underlying cause Welcome to Nidan Pathology Laboratory, your trusted partner in comprehensive healthcare services., we specialize in delivering accurate pathology blood tests and preventive health check packages.
