Components of Proteinuria
✔ Detailed Medical History & Physical Exam – Thorough assessment of your symptoms, including swelling (edema), foamy urine, and any history of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disorders.
✔ Urinalysis & Urine Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) – Initial urine tests to confirm the presence of protein and quantify the amount, providing a more accurate measure of protein loss than a single dipstick test.
✔ 24-Hour Urine Collection – Often performed to precisely measure the total amount of protein excreted in a day, which helps in assessing the severity of proteinuria.
✔ Blood Tests (Kidney Function) – Including serum creatinine, BUN, and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) to evaluate how well your kidneys are filtering waste.
✔ Imaging Studies (e.g., Renal Ultrasound, CT Scan) – Essential for visualizing the kidneys and urinary tract to detect structural abnormalities, cysts, stones, or other issues.
✔ Referral to Nephrology (If Indicated) – For persistent or significant proteinuria, referral to a kidney specialist (nephrologist) may be recommended for further specialized tests like kidney biopsy.
✔ Addressing Underlying Causes – Treatment focuses on managing the primary condition (e.g., controlling blood sugar in diabetes, managing blood pressure in hypertension) to reduce protein leakage.
✔ Follow-up & Monitoring – Regular monitoring of protein levels and kidney function to track response to treatment and prevent progression of kidney disease.
