It's called Proteinuria. What is proteinuria? Proteinuria—also called albuminuria or urine albumin—is a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Albumin is the main protein in the blood. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in the blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect the body from infection, help blood clot, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating throughout the body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter out the waste products and leave in the things the body needs, like albumin and other proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys’ filters into the urine. However, proteins from the blood can leak into the urine when the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, are damaged. Proteinuria is a sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can result from diabetes, high blood pressure, and diseases that cause inflammation in the kidneys. For this reason, testing for albumin in the urine is part of a routine medical assessment for everyone. Kidney disease is sometimes called renal disease. If CKD progresses, it can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), when the kidneys fail completely. A person with ESRD must receive a kidney transplant or regular blood-cleansing treatments called dialysis. What are the signs and symptoms of proteinuria? Proteinuria has no signs or symptoms in the early stages. Large amounts of protein in the urine may cause it to look foamy in the toilet. Also, because protein has left the body, the blood can no longer soak up enough fluid, so swelling in the hands, feet, abdomen, or face may occur. This swelling is called edema. These are signs of large protein loss and indicate that kidney disease has progressed. Laboratory testing is the only way to find out whether protein is in a person’s urine before extensive kidney damage occurs. Several health organizations recommend regular urine checks for people at risk for CKD. A 1996 study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health determined that proteinuria is the best predictor of progressive kidney failure in people with type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends regular urine testing for proteinuria for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The National Kidney Foundation recommends that routine checkups include testing for excess protein in the urine, especially for people in high-risk groups. Points to Remember 1. Proteinuria is a condition in which urine contains a detectable amount of protein. 2. Proteinuria is a sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD). 3. Groups at risk for proteinuria include African Americans, American Indians, Hispanics/Latinos, Pacific Islander Americans, older people, overweight people, people with diabetes or hypertension, and people who have a family history of kidney disease. 3. Proteinuria may have no signs or symptoms. Laboratory testing is the only way to find out whether protein is in a person’s urine. 4. Several health organizations recommend regular checks for proteinuria so kidney disease can be detected and treated before it progresses. 5. A person with diabetes, hypertension, or both should work to control blood glucose and blood pressure. http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/proteinuria/ Thursday, November 5, 2009 I missed both netball traing and choir practice today and i dont feel good skipping ccas. Mom is still worried about my health and i can't wait for my report to be out to prove her that im healthy enough to go for traings camp chalet... just want to be out!!! feel like a sickbird staying at home facing the comp the whole day, this is not my life at all. I'm patiently waiting for report to be out, and i'm making the school wait for my submission of camp form(guilt). This upcoming Friendship camp is a rare opportunity for me and i really hope to attend it if i'm healthy enough to! shall try my luck this time, i really wish to go! wonder what've my girls been doing all these while. mgcy have dates, sher's flying to Perth soon, ebel's busy modelling i guess, i've no idea where tere goes to because no news of her lately, vaishu is definitely busy with all her functions which idk what are those. cool, i can't wait to see them again!(but when?) Wednesday, November 4, 2009 facing it alone.. The doctor draw my blood out today. It hurts so much when the jab pressed deep inside my veins. I feel so unhealthy doing all this procedures, to collect my urine for the next twenty-four hours, to check for the next three months.. Can i just give it a stop to all these check ups, i'm afraid.....
