Normal human 24-hour urine protein range of <150mg, if the test 24-hour urine protein quantitative 1700mg indicates high urine protein, generally represents the kidney lesions. If the acute nephritis, through active treatment, generally can be improved, the situation is relatively not serious; if there is chronic nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc., the condition is more serious.
24h urine protein reflects the kidney function, when it exceeds 150mg, that is, on behalf of the positive urine protein, indicating that the amount of urinary protein discharged by the human body increased, due to the destruction of the renal filtration membrane, the protein is thus lost, can be detected in the urine.
Proteinuria has many causes, such as acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc. It is necessary to analyze the reason for the increase of urine protein by combining with other indexes, and improve the renal puncture biopsy if necessary, to make clear the type of pathology and severity, and assist in diagnosis and treatment.
When urinary protein is caused by acute glomerulonephritis, after rest, anti-infection, diuretic swelling, lowering blood pressure, lowering urinary protein and other treatments, the general prognosis is better, and the 24-hour urinary protein review may become normal, which is generally not serious.
If the urine protein is caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc., then it is more serious, although after active and effective treatment, the urine protein may persist, or even progressive aggravation.
24-hour proteinuria is abnormal, it is recommended to regular hospitals, under the guidance of the doctor, further improve the relevant examination, a clear diagnosis, targeted treatment.
