Proteinuria is a condition where excess protein is present in the urine. It is often an early sign of kidney damage and should not be ignored. Early detection and proper treatment can help protect kidney function and prevent progression.
Healthy kidneys prevent protein from leaking into the urine. When the kidney filters are damaged, protein passes into the urine instead of staying in the blood.
Proteinuria may be temporary or persistent. Persistent proteinuria can indicate underlying kidney disease and requires medical evaluation.
