Many people are not very clear about the cause of their proteinuria, so they will be very confused and cannot find the right treatment, which makes their condition become more and more serious. In fact, this situation is not age-specific. Patients of all ages will experience this situation. Therefore, the most important thing is to find the specific cause of the disease. Proteinuria caused by reasons other than kidney disease is mostly benign and will disappear when the disease is cured. [Febrile proteinuria] Proteinuria occurs when a fever of over 38 degrees Celsius is caused by a cold or other illness. [Orthostatic proteinuria] Young people will develop proteinuria when their spine bends forward and compresses the blood vessels in the kidneys. If not treated, it will disappear automatically around the age of 30. [Congestion in the kidney] When there is congestion in the renal veins, such as in heart failure, protein in the urine will appear, but it will disappear when the congestion disappears. â—‹Proteinuria caused by kidney disease When protein appears every time you do a urine test, it is a clear sign that you have kidney disease. [Nephritis] In acute or chronic nephritis, the amount of urine protein per day ranges from a small amount to tens of grams. [Nephritic syndrome] A large amount of urine protein of more than three grams will appear in the daily urine. When symptoms are severe, protein leaking into the urine can reduce the protein concentration in the blood. In addition, it may be caused by diabetic nephropathy, amyloidosis, collagen disease, etc. [Nephrosclerosis] With nephrosclerosis caused by essential hypertension, the amount of urine protein will decrease, usually below 300 mg. In addition, diseases such as multiple myeloma, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, gout, edema, and other mercury poisoning and lead poisoning can also cause proteinuria. Glomerular proteinuria is caused by increased permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane to plasma proteins. It is the most common type in clinical practice. Seen in a variety of primary or secondary glomerulonephritis. It is caused by ischemia, poisoning, and immune pathological damage that destroys the integrity of the filtration membrane; or by the weakening of the charge barrier function of the filtration membrane. |
