Overview

Proteinuria (from protein and urine) means the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine.[1] The protein in the urine often causes the urine to become foamy, although foamy urine may also be caused by bilirubin in the urine (bilirubinuria),[2] retrograde ejaculation,[3] pneumaturia (air bubbles in the urine) due to a fistula,[4] or drugs such as pyridium.[5]

Causes in Alphabetical Order


Proteinuria may be a feature of the following conditions:[6]

Causes of Proteinuria by Classification

Glomerular Proteinuria

  • Drugs
  • Hereditary
  • Infections
  • Miscellaneous

Tubular Proteinuria

  • Connatal tulbulopathies
  • Hypokalemic nephropathy
  • Interstitial nephropathy
  • Renal Vein Thrombosis
  • Renal tubular acidosis
  • Toxic nephropathy

Prerenal and Overflow Proteinuria

Renal Parenchymal and Post Renal Proteinuria

Miscellaneous Causes of Proteinuria

Associated conditions

Proteinuria may be a sign of renal (kidney) damage. Since serum proteins are readily reabsorbed from urine, the presence of excess protein indicates either an insufficiency of absorption or impaired filtration. Diabetics may suffer from damaged nephrons and develop proteinuria.

With severe proteinuria, general hypoproteinemia can develop which results in diminished oncotic pressure. Symptoms of diminished oncotic pressure may include ascites, edema, and hydrothorax.

Diagnosis

Laboratory Findings

Proteinuria is often diagnosed by a simple dipstick test although it is possible for the test to give a false negative even with nephrotic range proteinuria if the urine is dilute. False negatives may also occur if the protein in the urine is composed mainly globulins or Bence-Jones Proteins because the reagent on the test strips, Bromphenol blue, is highly specific for albumin. [9][6] Traditionally dipstick protein tests would be quantified by measuring the total quantity of protein in a 24-hour urine collection test, and abnormal globulins by specific requests for Protein electrophoresis.[10][11]

Alternatively the concentration of protein in the urine may be compared to the creatinine level in a spot urine sample. This is termed Protein/Creatinine Ratio (PCR). The 2005 UK Chronic Kidney Disease guidelines states that PCR is a better test than 24 hour urinary protein measurement. Proteinuria is defined as a Protein:creatinine ratio >45 mg/mmol (which is equivalent to Albumin:creatinine ratio of >30 mg/mmol) with very high levels of nephrotic syndrome being for PCR > 100 mg/mmol.[12]

Reference Range
Physiologic protien elimination <150mg protien/24 hours
Proteinuria >150mg protein/24 hours
Microalbuminuria <30mg albumin/24 hours

Treatment

Treating proteinuria mainly needs proper diagnosis of the cause. The most common cause is diabetic nephropathy; in this case, proper glycemic control may slow the progression. Medical management consists of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which are typically first-line therapy for proteinuria. In patients whose proteinuria is not controlled with ACE inhibitors, the addition of an aldosterone antagonist (i.e., spironolactone)[13] or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)[14] may further reduce protein loss. Caution must be used if these agents are added to ACE inhibitor therapy due to the risk of hyperkalemia. Proteinuria secondary to autoimmune disease should be treated with steroids or steroid-sparing agent plus the use of ACE inhibitors.
