 | | Specific therapy is probably not indicated in patients with nonnephrotic-range proteinuria because the long-term outcome is relatively benign. | | | The biochemical consequences of severe proteinuria are the main clinical problem. | | | Although the incidence is unknown, this disease is found in 5 to 10% of renal biopsies performed for proteinuria, hematuria, or azotemia. |

| | Three hundred five patients had baseline proteinuria of 0 to 0.25 g/d (mean, 0.08 g/d); 120 had baseline proteinuria of 0.25 to 1.0 g/d (mean, 0.58 g/d); 105 had baseline proteinuria of 1.0 to 3.0 g/d (mean, 1.8 g/d); and 55 had baseline proteinuria of 3.0 g/d or more (mean, 4.8 g/d). | | | Three hundred five patients had baseline proteinuria of 0 to 0.25 g/d (mean, 0.08 g/d); 120 had baseline proteinuria of 0.25 to 1.0 g/d (mean, 0.58 g/d); 105 had baseline proteinuria of 1.0 to 3.0 g/d (mean, 1.8 g/day); and 55 had baseline proteinuria of 3 g/d or more (mean, 4.8 g/d). | | | Greater baseline proteinuria is associated with steeper mean glomerular filtration rate decline and with a greater benefit from the low blood pressure goal (P equals 0.02 in study A; P equals 0.01 in study B). |

| | CKD Update: Testing for Proteinuria: Time for a Change |
| | Other types of proteinuria, tubular or overflow, are less common and have not been shown to be associated with cardiovascular outcomes that have come to be associated with glomerular proteinuria, an indicator of microvascular injury. | | | Thus, it is now imperative to incorporate testing for proteinuria in office practice for early detection and its quantitation to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. | | | Also, identification of proteinuric individuals, who are at increased risk for cardiovascular events, allows for the early institution of preventative and intensive therapies to manage co-existent risk factors (hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, smoking), which improve the benefit/risk ratio of interventional strategies. |

| | Proteinuria |
| | It is clear that the discovery of proteinuria necessitates a thorough evaluation to separate these healthy individuals form those with significant renal disease. | | | It tests mainly for albumin, is sensitive to 10-30 mg/dl and is read out by a color change. | | | If no such evidence is found, repeat dipstick analysis should be done two or three times. |

| | Proteinuria was correlated with other variables by chi(2) analysis. | | | The study concluded that reagent strip-detected hematuria and proteinuria, although valuable, are less reliable predictors of S. haematobium within communities than previously reported and their usefulness is improved with stratification by age and gender. | | | For children of some ages, proteinuria was associated with complications including stroke, acute chest syndrome, cholelithiasis, and hospitalizations. |

| | eMJA: The clinical utility of routine urinalysis in pregnancy: a prospective study |
| | The detection of proteinuria may mean more intense clinical supervision; however, it is unlikely that cessation of routine urinalysis would have jeopardised the outcomes in these six women. | | | From previous research on routine urinalysis in pregnancy, it was concluded that, in low-risk women with no objective signs of a hypertensive disorder, routine dipstick proteinuria screening at each antenatal visit does not provide clinically important information about pregnancy outcome. | | | We determined the relationship between first-visit dipstick proteinuria, pregnancy outcomes and development of hypertension during pregnancy. |

| | Proteinuria in Children -- familydoctor.org |
| | Proteinuria is the name of a medical condition. | | | If only a little protein is in the urine, your child probably has a benign (harmless) condition such as orthostatic proteinuria (see below). | | | The word orthostatic means "upright." The condition is called "orthostatic proteinuria" because protein goes into the urine only when the child is in the upright position (standing up). |
