Proteinuria is too much protein in your urine. Generally, if your kidneys are physically healthy, proteins do not typically filter into your urine because of their large size.

In the circumstances of glumeruli (filters) damage in your kidney, proteins have less difficulty making it through. The protein most likely to show up in a urine test is albumin, what’s referred to as albuminuria.

Inflammation in the glomeruli (glomerulonephritis or nephritis) leads to proteinuria and many diseases can damage the glomeruli, causing proteinuria. Highest risk factors are:

• diabetes
• hypertension
• family member with kidney disease

Proteinuria is also associated with cardiovascular disease, as damaged blood vessels may lead to kidney failure.

A couple of signs or symptoms of protenuria include:

• foamy urine
• hands, feet, abdomen, face swelling

A urine test is the way to determine unhealthy protein passage. Additionally, a blood test for creatinine and urea nitrogen levels indicate impaired kidney function.

Obviously, if you have diabetes and/or hypertension, your health objective needs to be getting blood glucose and blood pressure under your control. Reducing intake of dietary salt and protein may also be a recommended form of treatment.
