6. 1.1 Definitions of Proteinuria
Normal urinary protein excretion is < 150 mg/24 hours and consists mostly of secreted proteins
such as Tamm-Horsfall proteins.
Proteinuria is the the urinary excretion of >150 mg /24 hours.
The normal mean albumin excretion rate (AER) is 5-10 mg/day.
Nephrotic-range proteinuria is defined as proteinuria greater than 3.5 g / 24 hours.
Persistent proteinuria proteinuria for more than 3 months.
Proteinuria can be accompanied by other clinical abnormalities :
Elevated BUN and S.creatinine, ABNL urine sediment.
1
• AER between 30 to 300 mg/day is called microalbuminuria.
• Levels greater than 300 mg/day are called macroalbuminuria.
8. 8
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
1. According to quantity:
A. Microalbuminuria
B. Macroalbuminria
2. According to origin:
A. Prerenal
B. Renal:
• Glomerular proteinuria
• Tubular proteinuria
• Mixed
C. Post-renal proteinuria
3. Isolated (benign proteinuria)
A. Orthostatic proteinuria
B. Transient proteinuria
2
9. A. Microalbuminemia:
• Urine albumin excretion of 30–300 mg/day.
• Early sign of diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy.
B. Macroalbuminemia:
• Urine albumin excretion > 300 mg/day.
• Standard urine dipstick tests can be used for detection.
According to quantity:
1.

1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
10. • Increased production of low-molecular-weight proteins → Overwhelming the
reabsorption capacity of the PCT → Proteinuria
Causes:
• Multiple myeloma→ Bence Jones proteins
• Hemolysis → Hemoglobin.
• Rhabdomyolysis → Myoglobin .
A. Pre-renal proteinuria
4
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
According to origin:
2.
11. • Damage to the glomeruli → increased permeability of the glomerular
filtration barrier → urinary protein excretion
• Characteristic finding: appearance of large proteins in the urine, primarily albumin.
• Causes of glomerular proteinuria:
Primary glomerular disease:
1. Minimal change glomerular disease
2. Membranous nephropathy
3. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
4. Congenital nephrotic syndrome
Secondary glomerular disease:
1. Nephritic syndromes
2. DM and HTN
3. Systemic lupus erythematosus
4. Cryoglobulinaemic disease
5. Henoch–Schonlein syndrome
6. Drugs :NSAIDs, gold, penicillamine
.
1 Glomerular proteinuria
5
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
B. Renal proteinuria
12. • Damage to the PCT → failure to reabsorb small proteins in the tubules
→ urinary protein excretion, typically beta-2 microglobulin without large proteins.
• The amount of proteinuria is usually < 2 g/day.
• Causes:
▪ Tubulointerstitial nephritis
▪ Nephrolithiasis
▪ Analgesics
▪ Immunosuppressive agents
▪ Acute renal failure.
Found in diseases that affect both the glomeruli and the tubules (e.g., CKD)
.
2 Tubular proteinuria
.
3 Mixed proteinuria
6
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
13. • Physiological proteinuria
Proteins that are being produced in the tubules (Tamm-Horsfall protein)
• Pathological proteinuria
Abnormalities affecting urinary tract from the renal pelvis to the urethra:
▪ Stones
▪ Inflammatory: Ureteritis, Prostatitis, Cystitis, Urethritis.
▪ Neoplastic
▪ Traumatic
C. Post-renal proteinuria
7
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
15. ▪ Defined as isolated proteinuria < 1 g/day
▪ Very common; mostly affects younger individuals
▪ No treatment necessary; excellent prognosis
Benign proteinuria :
3.
1. Orthostatic proteinuria (postural proteinuria) :
• Increased protein excretion only in the upright position for long time.
• More common in tall, thin adolescents or adults less than 30 years old.
• Dx: The patient has no proteinuria in early morning samples but has low-grade proteinuria
at the end of the day.
2. Transient proteinuria :
• Most common cause of isolated proteinuria in children
• Causes: heavy exertion, Acute illness, Fever, Seizures.
9
1.2 Classifications of Proteinuria
17. 1. Pulmonary edema due to fluid overload
2. Acute kidney injury due to intravascular depletion and progressive kidney disease
3. Increased risk of bacterial infection, including SBP
4. Increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis, including renal vein thrombosis
5. Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
1.3 Complications of Proteinuria
10
19. Clinical Assessment
• Mild to moderate proteinuria may be asymptomatic.
• The majority of patients with proteinuria are asymptomatic, and proteinuria will be
detected in the course of routine laboratory testing conducted to evaluate
systemic disease.
• Considering the more common and benign causes of proteinuria first is important.

37. 25
Standard urine dipstick test:
• Primarily detects albumin > 300 mg/day.
• Protein detected by urine dipstick should always be quantified with either a 24-hour urine
collection or protein-creatinine or albumin-creatinine ratio on random urine samples.
• Results interpretation:
• Trace = 50 to 150 mg/day; 1+ = 150 to 500 mg/day; 2+ = 0.5 to 1.5 g/day;
3+ = 2 to 5 g/day; 4+ = >5 g/day
2.3 Investigations
38. ○ Initial test once proteinuria is detected by dipstick test → examination of urine sediment:
• RBC casts → GN
• WBC casts → pyelonephritis or interstitial nephritis
• Fatty casts → nephrotic syndrome (lipiduria)
• Granular stsac → acute tubular necrosis
○ If urine casts are positive → treat the cause and repeat urinalysis for proteinuria
○ If urinalysis confirms the presence of protein, a 24-hour urine collection (for albumin and Cr)
is appropriate to quantify the proteinuria.
26
2.3 Investigations
Urinalysis :
39. 24-hour urine albumin:
Normal range <30mg/day
Microalbuminuria 30-300mg/ 24 hours
Macroalbuminuria >300mg/24 hours
Nephrotic syndrome ≥ 3.5 g/24hours
27
2.3 Investigations
24-hour urine collection (for albumin and Cr)
Spot urine protein or albumin/creatinine ratio :
Normal <50mg/g or <0.2mg/mg
Proteinuria ≥ 150mg/g or ≥0.2 mg/mg
40. ▪ Corresponds to albumin excretion of 30 to 300 mg/day.
▪ This is below the range of sensitivity of standard dipsticks.
▪ Special tests can detect microgrm amount of albumin, including:
.
1 Radioimmunoassay the most sensitive and specific test for microalbuminuria.
.
2 Specific urine dipstick tests
3. Sulfosalicylic acid test
.
4 ELISA
28
2.3 Investigations
Test for microalbuminuria
41. ■ BUN and Cr— for renal function
■ Serum albuminaimenimublaopyh detaicossa rof
■ ABG and electrolytes for associated metabolic acidosis
■ CBC—to detect anemia due to renal failure
■ Urine and plasma electrophoresis— to rule out tubulointerstitial diseases and multiple myeloma
■ Lipid profile —for associated dyslipidemia
■ Autoantibodies - If indicated, including ASO titers, ANA, anti-DNA, complement levels (C3 and C4).
■ Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV serologies - If indicated
29
2.3 Investigations
Other tests
42. ○ Renal ultrasound:
• Hydronephrosis suggests obstructive nephropathy.
• Small, smooth kidneys suggests chronic parenchymal renal disease.
• Renal asymmetry suggests RAS
• Renal enlargement can occur in ATN, renal vein thrombosis, and renal infiltration.
○ Plain abdominal film (KUB) if renal stones or nephrocalcinosis suspected.
○ Contrast CT angiography or Gadolinium- enhanced MRA for Atherosclerotic RAS
○ CXR –Infiltrates, CHF, pleural effusion .
○ Renal biopsy
30
Imaging Studies
2.3 Investigations
45. 3.1 approach considerations
● Nonspecific treatment –
Treatment that is applicable irrespective of
the underlying cause, assuming the patient has no contraindications to the therapy
● Specific treatment –
Treatment that depends on the underlying renal or
nonrenal cause and, in particular, whether or not the injury is immune mediated
● Referral to a nephrologist is indicated for any patient who develops proteinuria,
especially those with any adverse prognostic markers (eg, rise in albumin
excretion of > 1 g/day), or any worsening in kidney function.
32
46. ▪ Restriction of dietary salts and proteins .
▪ Cessation of smoking
▪ Vitamin D and calcium supplements.
▪ Pneumococcal vaccine
▪ Treatment of infection
3.2 Non-Specific Treatment
33
▪ Drugs:
▪ Diuretics :loop diuretic or a combination of diuretics such as a thiazide and loop diuretics .
▪ ACE inhibitors and ARBs
▪ CCB: if ACEIs or ARBs are contraindicated.
▪ Anticoagulants
▪ Treatment of dyslipidemiasnitats htiw
47. ● Minimal change disease : most respond to prednisone (adequate dose and duration),
but may relapse ,cyclophosphamide or cyclosporine may be used for frequent relapses
● Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis : high dose long-term steroids will lead to remission in about
1/3 of patients +_ MMF ,calcineurin inhibitors
● Membranoproliferative GN :steroid +-azathioprine, MMF
● Diabetic Nephropathy : strict control of blood sugar _+ARBS,ACE-I
● SLE Nephropathy:
Therapy : depend on class ,for all class use HCQ + prednisolone
for class 3, 4 , add cyclophosphamide or MMF (mycophenolate mofetil).

• Orthostatic and transient proteinuria are benign and have excellent prognosis
• Cardiovascular and pulmonary abnormalities, infections, VTE and AKI are main
complications of proteinuria
• The majority of patients with proteinuria are asymptomatic

• Renal US is the most useful imaging study of kidney abnormalities
• Nonspecific treatment can be applied in all types of proteinuria
• ACEIs and ARBs can be used in patients with proteinuria regardless of the cause
• CCB can be used if there is contraindication of ACEIs or ARBs.
• Specific treatment of proteinuria according to the underlying cause.
