Does proteinuria itself cause further kidney damage or is it just a symptom?

Protein is a relatively large molecule, so when it is present in the urine, it can mean that the glomeruli in the kidney are damaged. The glomeruli filter the blood to remove toxins, and are expected to filter even smaller molecules, so seeing large protein molecules through is not good news.
But protein in the urine can be there for reasons other than kidney damage. It can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, for instance.
