Ever heard of proteinuria?!


Question:

Ever heard of proteinuria?

I am waiting to go to a kidney specialist to get the results.


Answers:

Yes, it means that protein is in the urine. Normally, protein molecules are too large to pass through the glomuleri filters in the kidneys to reach the urine. Some trace protein excretion is normal, but over a certain point it is considered proteinuria.

Good luck w/the kidney specialist. Unless you haven't done so already, you will probably have to repeat the test.
