Proteinuria

Question 1

Orthostatic proteinuria

Answer 1

+protein in day (standing)

Goes away when laying down (sleep)

First void spot urine right after waking up shows no protein. Would also need a serum Cr, if normal, just need a 3 month follow up.

If +protein in AM, then check protein/Cr ratio. If >0.2 = renal disease

Question 2

Transient proteinuria

Answer 2

fever
exercise
dehydration
