A Large Amount of Proteinuria Will Endanger Life?

Under normal circumstances, urine contains trace protein, known as proteinuria, but if the high protein content in urine, then we should pay attention, because it could mean proteinuria kidney problem. Well, it would threaten life?

Many patients with chronic nephritis was diagnosed with proteinuria, even if not pay attention, because the body does not feel uncomfortable, neither pain nor itch, as if he did not have the same treatment. However, under normal circumstances, normal 24-hour urine protein in the range of ≦ 0.15g, because proteins in the blood filter membrane in the kidney, the protein is unable to pass this layer of the film, the film can only be a small molecule material, so normal urine is generally not a protein. So, too proteinuria what harm? Great loss of chronic nephritis proteinuria occurred not only nutritious protein, and glomerular lesions aggravated damage.

In addition, under normal circumstances, would filter out some of the glomerular small molecule protein, but can be tubular reabsorption back into the blood, but a large number of tubular proteinuria cause long-term overload, this will result in renal tubular damage, studies have confirmed that one of harm proteinuria is an independent risk factor for causing uremia, its greatest harm that drug eclipse kidney disease to accelerate the development of uremia. However, the main factor uremia life-threatening.


In short, proteinuria, if unchecked, lead to uremia can cause life-threatening.
