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.
When healthy kidneys filter fluid, minerals and wastes from the blood, they usually do not allow large amounts of serum protein to escape into the urine. But when kidneys arenât filtering properly, proteinuria can occur, meaning that an abnormal amount of protein is present in the urine.The two major groups of serum proteins in the blood are albumin and globulins.ut when kidneys arenât filtering properly, proteinuria can occur, meaning that an abnormal amount of protein is present in the urine.
