Research shows that the level and type of proteinuria (whether the urinary proteins are albumin only-albuminuria-or include other proteins) are a good indicator of the extent of kidney damage. Proteinuria is also a sign that someone is at risk of developing progressive deterioration of kidney function. We also know that even small degrees of albuminuria/proteinuria are associated with an increased risk of the development of heart and blood vessel disease.
Patients have normal renal function and proteinuria usually is less than 1 g/day with no hematuria. Glomerular proteinuria associated with pathological damage to the glomerulus is categorized by protein quantity. In non-nephrotic proteinuria, the amount of proteinuria is <3.5 g/24 h and is persistent.
