Whether or not high urine protein is a precursor to UTI depends mainly on the cause of the disease and the effect of treatment. If it is caused by physiological factors such as strenuous exercise, it is not a precursor of UTI. If it is caused by pathological factors such as urinary tract infection, kidney disease, etc., after active treatment, the condition is relieved, is not a precursor to uremia; if the treatment effect is not good, the development of chronic renal insufficiency, can be a precursor to uremia.
1. Physiological factors: large amounts of food containing high protein, strenuous exercise, fever and other factors may lead to increased protein content in the urine. The patient’s kidneys have no organic lesions, after resting, the urine protein can usually turn negative on its own, without special treatment. At this time, high urine protein is not a precursor of uremia.
2. Pathologic factors:
(1) Urinary tract infection: such as cystitis or pyelonephritis, after the infection worsens, it may lead to protein in urine. After active anti-infection treatment, the condition will be relieved, and the urine protein may become negative, and then high urine protein is not a precursor of uremia.
(2) Kidney disease: such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc., affecting the filtration function of the kidney, protein molecules into the urine, which can lead to increased protein content in the urine. If the treatment effect is good, the condition is relieved, this is not a precursor of uremia; if the treatment effect is not good, the progression of chronic renal insufficiency, which in turn can develop into uremia, this time high urine protein can be a precursor of uremia.
High urine protein may also have other reasons, it is recommended that patients go to the regular hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to target treatment or treatment.
