What is urinary protein

summary

A 65 year old male, with swollen hands and feet, went to the hospital to check urinary protein 3 + and occult blood 2 +. He was diagnosed as chronic nephritis and chronic renal failure in the local hospital. After seeing the doctor, the situation seems to be better. Do you know what urinary protein is? Let's talk about what urinary protein is.

What is urinary protein

Symptom 1: renal vasospasm: cold, pain and other factors can cause vasospasm. As a result of renal vasospasm, to make microvascular wall permeability increased, resulting in proteinuria.

Symptom 2: hypoxia factor: when strenuous exercise causes the increase of acid substances, the acid metabolites can not be fully oxidized due to hypoxia, which stimulates the renal tissue and increases the excretion of urinary protein.

Symptom 3: when the quality and quantity of protein in the blood are abnormal: such as intravenous infusion of protein, eating too much protein, there is often temporary proteinuria, but the 24-hour urine protein should be less than 0.2g.

matters needing attention

Warm reminder: however, under normal circumstances, human urine contains no protein or only a small amount of protein, but when kidney disease occurs, when the protein flowing with blood circulation flows through the kidney, the protein "leaks" due to the decrease of renal filtration function. Protein leaks into the urine and comes out of the urethra to form proteinuria. The higher the urinary protein, the worse the renal filtration function, which is an important indicator of renal function.
