Proteinuria
The document discusses proteinuria and different types of kidney diseases that can cause protein in the urine. It begins by defining normal and abnormal levels of protein in urine and discusses microscopic albuminuria. It then describes different types of proteinuria including tubular, overflow and glomerular. Within glomerular proteinuria it distinguishes between selective, non-selective and microscopic albuminuria. Common causes of nephrotic syndrome like minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranous nephropathy are outlined. Diagnostic testing and treatment options for minimal change disease are also summarized.
