Why Is There High Protein in Urine

Why is there high protein in urine? Generally speaking, proteinuria means that there is protein in urine. Generally, for a normal person, the amount of protein in urine is 40 to 80 mg, and the upper limit is 150 mg per day, which is called physical proteinuria. Because the amount of protein in urine is little, conventional test shows that it is negative. If the amount is more than 150mg per day, it belongs to abnormal proteinuria. The conventional test shows positive.
Does proteinuria indicate kidney disease? Not always. We can not make a conclusion by only one TUPr. In addition, sometimes, even people do not have kidney disease, they can have protein in urine because of strenuous exercise, heavy labor work, excitement, too chill, too hot, and so on. All this can be called transient proteinuria and can disappear after several hours or several days.
How to diagnosis? When people have an UPQ and find the protein is high for the first time, they should have another examination. If the second test also shows the index is high, such as the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, the deposition of urine and so on. What’s more, they can also have a renal function test to get a scientific diagnosis.
After a compressive diagnosis, if people are diagnosed with kidney disease, they should receive effective treatment as soon as possible.
How about the treatment of protein in urine for patients with chronic kidney disease? In glomeruli, there is filtration barrier. In the middle of the barrier, there is a filtration membrane with pores. Many small molecules metabolism such as creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and urea acid pass through it. For bigger molecules such as proteins, they can not pass through it due to the diameter of the pore. However, when kidney is damaged, the intrinsic cells will be damaged as well such as renal glomerular filtration membrane. In this case, protein will leak out and foam comes into being in the urine. So to reduce the foam in the urine, we should firstly stop the leak out of protein, in other words, repair the damaged renal glomerular filtration membrane.
Having known about the reasons why there is protein leaking out, patients should take effective measures to diminish it and for more information, please consult us on line or email us.
