NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -When your kidneys are not working as well as they should, protein can leak through your kidney’s filters and into your urine (i.e., your pee). Protein in your urine is called proteinuria or albuminuria. It is a sign that your kidneys are damaged.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein in urine-also called proteinuria (pro-tee-NU-ree-uh)-is an excess of bloodborne proteins in urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Albumin is the protein most likely to appear in the urine, which is why proteinuria is sometimes called albuminuria. Other proteins can also leak into the urine. The level and type of protein reveals the degree of the damage, as well as the risk for developing kidney failure.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. People with diabetes may have damaged nephrons and develop proteinuria.
