Document Summary
Proteinuria is excess protein excreted in urine due to an increased permeability of the filtration membrane, and can be classified as 3 types. Tubular tubulo-interstitial portion of the kidney is affected (low molecular proteins failed to be reabsorbed by pct) Overflow increased production of abnormal low molecular weight proteins exceeding the reabsorption capacity of the tubules (these proteins can be toxic to the tubules and cause acute kidney injury) Glomerular can be categorized according to whether pathological damage of the glomerulus is present. The kidneys play a major role in the retention of plasma proteins, using renal tubules to reabsorb them as the proteins pass through the glomerular filtration barrier. Nephropathy, which is any disease of the kidneys, would result in inadequate reabsorption of these proteins into the bloodstream and thus we get elevated protein levels in the urine.
