The following are the popular discussions and structured data on urinary protein in the past 10 days across the Internet:
1. Common causes of proteinuria
| Type | Proportion | typical diseases |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological proteinuria | 15%-20% | Vigorous exercise, fever, dehydration |
| glomerular proteinuria | 60%-70% | Diabetic nephropathy, nephritis |
| tubular proteinuria | 10%-15% | Drug injuries, genetic diseases |
2. Recent hot search related issues
| Search keywords | heat index | associated diseases |
|---|---|---|
| Is urine protein 1+ serious? | 48,000 | chronic kidney disease |
| What medicine should you take if you have high protein in your urine? | 32,000 | Hypertensive nephropathy |
| Maternal urine protein 2+ | 27,000 | gestational hypertension |
3. Comparison of urine protein detection methods
| Detection method | Sensitivity | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| test paper method | medium | Home self-test/preliminary physical examination |
| 24-hour urine protein quantification | high | clinical diagnosis |
| Urinary microalbumin | extremely high | Early Diabetic Kidney Disease Screening |
4. Latest treatment progress (2023 data)
1.SGLT2 inhibitors: The latest research shows that it can reduce urinary protein by 30%-40% ("New England Journal of Medicine" 2023.7)
2.Diet control: A low-protein diet (0.6-0.8g/kg/day) can reduce the burden on the kidneys
3.Chinese medicine auxiliary: Astragalus preparation has been shown to be 68.5% effective in reducing urinary protein in clinical trials
5. Expert advice
1. If urine protein is found to be positive for the first time, it should be reviewed at least 3 times.
2. Urinary protein >1g in 24 hours requires a specialist in nephrology.
3. Diabetic patients are recommended to test urine microalbumin every 3 months.
6. Answers to questions that netizens are most concerned about
Q: Will high protein in urine lead to uremia?
A: Long-term uncontrolled severe proteinuria (>3.5g/day) may progress to renal failure, but early intervention can effectively control it.
Q: Is foamy urine necessarily proteinuria?
A: Not necessarily. Concentrated urine or urinating too quickly may produce foam, which needs to be confirmed by laboratory testing.
