Urine protein up to several plus signs

The highest urine protein (++++). There are two general measurements for urine protein: the first measurement is the urine protein quantification. The main measurement is the 24-hour urine protein quantification. The second measurement is urine protein qualitative, which is the urine protein several plus signs in the urine routine. Normally urine protein in routine urine is negative, if there is an abnormality, there will be a plus sign, the number of plus signs can vary from 1-4, (+) belongs to the least, (++++) belongs to the most. If it reaches (++++), this condition belongs to a large amount of proteinuria, which indicates that the glomerular filtration membrane is severely damaged and the permeability is very high, from which a large amount of protein is lost, mainly seen in nephrotic syndrome. When urine protein (++++) is found in the urine routine, it is recommended to perform 24-hour quantitative urine protein test and blood albumin test to further confirm whether it is nephrotic syndrome. Of course, nephrotic syndrome is divided into primary nephrotic syndrome and secondary nephrotic syndrome, and the treatment for these two types of diseases is different.
