Approach to Proteinuria and Hematuria Flashcards
Normal protein flow thru renal arteries
121,000g/day
Normal protein flow thru GLOMERULUS
1-2g/day
Normal protein excretion in urine
<150mg/day and (-) on dipstick
Usual first sign of renal complication
Microalbuminuria
Only protein detected on dipstick
Albumin
% of Tamm-Horsfall protein in Urine
60-80%
% Albumin in urine
20-40
550mg of protein in urine is considered
Moderate
Mild: <500 mg
Moderate: 500mg-2g
Severe: >2g
Most common cause of proteinuria
DM
Etiology of Protenuria is classified into
Overflow
Tubular
Glomerular
TorF: Tubulointerstitial disease would cause high molecular weight proteinuria
False. LOW bsta tubular kag overfLOW ky LOW
Disease that would cause high mol wt proteinuria
GN
Orthostatic proteinuria
Type of proteinuria which resolves with resolution of underlying dse
Transient proteinuria
Secondary causes of Tubulointerstitial disease
Uric acid nephropathy
Heavy Metal and drug toxicity
Sickle Cell Dse
Proteinuria while upright or after prolonged standing but normal when supine
Orthostatic proteinuria
Diagnostic methods for orthostatic proteinuria
Split urine collection
Spot protein creatinine ratio of 1st AM and mid afternoon void
T or F: More patients have secondary causes than primary glomerular disease
False: 75% primary
25% secondary
kidney disesase as a result
of the progression of symptoms diabetes mellitus
Diabetic Kidney disease
kidney disease as a direct
result of increased blood glucose
Diabetic nephropathy
How many yrs does microalbuminuria develop in Diabetic nephropathy/DKD
5 yrs, proteinuria 11-20 yrs
