Proteinuria is the presence of protein in the urine.
Normally, the kidneys filter the blood and remove waste products, but sometimes, they allow proteins to pass into the urine.
We clarify that the presence of protein in the urine is normal, up to 150 mg in 24 hours, above this figure, it is considered abnormal.
Proteinuria can be a sign of various conditions, such as:
Kidney damage
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Kidney infections
Autoimmune diseases
It is important to diagnose and treat proteinuria in time to prevent long-term complications.
