Risk Factors for Proteinuria. Both diabetes and high blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, which leads to proteinuria. Other types of kidney disease unrelated to diabetes or high blood pressure can also cause protein to leak into the urine. Increased production of proteins in the body can lead to proteinuria.
Several proteins can be found in the urine, but the most relevant. to kidney disease is albumin. Protein in the urine is not usually obvious, but can be detected by. a simple dip- stick test, or sometimes by more sensitive lab tests. The presence of protein in the urine can act as a warning signal.
