How is proteinuria treated? ... How do I do a 24-hour urine collection? Printer-friendly version Email this article Proteins are essential in our bodies. 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: 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. The SSA test is carried out by mixing 1 part urine supernatant (eg, 2.5 mL) with 3 parts 3% sulfosalicylic acid and grading the resultant turbidity

Mild proteinuria and hematuria are sometimes discovered in people without symptoms, when urine tests are performed for routine purposes. The presence of clumps of red blood cells (casts) or abnormally shaped red blood cells is a clue for doctors that the blood in the urine came from glomeruli. A kidney biopsy may show that glomeruli contain deposits of antibodies or slight changes in the cells that filter the blood. However, a kidney biopsy is rarely performed because the likelihood of finding a treatable disease is very low.

Extractions: Print Version Proteinuria The significance of proteinuria should always be evaluated in light of the method of collection, urine specific gravity, and measurement technique. The presence of protein in a urine sample collected by catheterization or manual expression may contain blood which by definition contains RBC and blood proteins; the proteinuria in that case is iatrogenic. The amount of protein assessed by qualitative methods such as colormetric dip sticks becomes more significant as the urine decreases in urine specific gravity. A +1 protein in a urine sample with a 1.003 specific gravity is much more significant than a +1 protein reading in a urine sample with a 1.030 specific gravity. Protein can be measured by semiquantitative methods including colormetric dip sticks, turbidometric methods or by quantitative methods. The semiquatitative methods of protein measurement may result in erroneous results including both false positive and false negative results. Quantitative methods are less likely to return false positive or false negative results. top of page Colormetric dip stick protein readings The changes on the color pads range from negative to +4 with the following approximate concentration correlations: dipstick reading concentration trace 20 mg/dl 30 mg/dl 100 mg/dl 300 mg/dl 2000 mg/dl and higher The chemicals on the color pads are more sensitive to the detection of albumin than globulins, Bence Jones proteins (the light chains of immunoglobulin molecules) or other proteins. These other proteins can be detected by the dipstick but only when present in large quantities. The lower limit of sensitivity is ~ 20 mg/dl protein.

http://www.diabetesmonitor.com/b144.htm

Extractions: On this page: P roteinuria 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 or simply nephritis Many diseases can cause this inflammation, which leads to proteinuria. Additional processes that can damage the glomeruli and cause proteinuria include diabetes, hypertension, and other forms of kidney diseases.
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

Extractions: 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.

It may occur in up to 27% of adults with hemoglobin SS and in 5-8% of adults with other sickle hemoglobinopathies. Despite the paucity of associated clinical findings, it may herald the development of progressive renal insufficiency, and lead to end-stage renal disease and, therefore, should be thoroughly investigated Clinical Findings Subjective Data Present Illness Past Medical History .

Extractions: When presented with a cat or dog with proteinuria, it is important to identify its source. Proteinuria may be caused by physiologic or pathologic conditions. Physiologic or benign proteinuria is often transient and abates when the underlying cause is corrected. Strenuous exercise, seizures, fever, exposure to extreme heat or cold, and stress are examples of conditions that may cause physiologic proteinuria.
