Q

When the glomerular membrane is damaged, selective filtration is impaired, and increased amounts of serum protein and even tually red and white blood cells pass through the membrane and are excreted in the urine. Conditions that present the glomerular membrane with abnormal substances (e.g., amyloid material, toxic substances, and the immune complexes found in lupus erythematosus and streptococcal glomerulonephritis) are major causes of proteinuria due to glomerular damage

is usually transient and can be produced by conditions such as strenuous exercise, high fever, dehydration, and exposure to cold.

A

33
Q

Onset of renal complications can first be predicted by detection of ______, and the progression of renal disease can be prevented through better stabilization of blood glucose levels and control of hypertension.

A

34
Q

36
Q

Postural proteinuria aka

A

Orthostatic proteinuria

37
Q

occurs following periods spent in a vertical posture and disappears when a horizontal position is assumed

A

Orthostatic proteinuria

38
Q

Increased albumin is also present in disorders affecting tubular reabsorption because the normally filtered albumin can no longer be reabsorbed. Other low-molecular-weight proteins that are usually reabsorbed are also present. Causes of ________ include exposure to toxic substances and heavy metals, severe viral infections, and Fanconi syndrome

A

Tubular proteinuria

39
Q

Protein can be added to a urine specimen as it passes through the structures of the lower urinary tract (ureters, bladder, ure- thra, prostate, and vagina). Bacterial and fungal infections and inflammations produce exudates containing protein from the interstitial fluid. The presence of blood as the result of injury or menstrual contamination contributes protein, as does the presence of prostatic fluid and large amounts of spermatozoa.

A

Post-renal
