What else can I help you with?
Does protein enter the urine?
No, but if it is it can show that there is kidney problems, such as kidney disease
What are the benefits of going on a low protein diet?
A low protein diet is most beneficial for people with liver and kidney disease. Since protein is composed of 16% nitrogen it can be harmful to excrete the increased amount of urea in people with liver and kidney disease.
What is the disease that encompasses a group of symptoms referred to as the protein-losing kidney?
acute glomerulonephritis.
Why there is protein in urine in the systemic erythematosus?
About half the people who have systemic lupus will develop kidney disease. There are 5 types( 6 if you count no disease as a type) and the type is determined by a kidney biopsy. Inflammation in the glomeruli, the little filters in the kidney, prevent the kidneys from catching protein and returning it to the blood stream. Protein in the urine means the glomeruli are not able to do this.
What can help a dog with kidney disease?
Probably the same things that help humans with kidney disease, as the structure of the kidney is similar. Some of these things are: - Always make sure the dog has access to water - Reduce the amount of protein in the dogs diet (kidney disease results in animal protein not being as quickly processed, and toxins build up in the blood) In humans, drugs such as ACE inhibitors and sometimes steroids are used in kidney disease treatment. These options are at the discretion of the veterinarian.
What lab tests are used to test for the presence of protein?
Common lab tests used to test for the presence of protein include a serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) test, a urine protein test, and a total protein test. These tests can help diagnose conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, or protein deficiencies.
What diet is beneficial to Fabry's patients who have kidney problems?
A low sodium, low protein diet may be beneficial to patients with Fabry's disease who have some kidney complications.
The presence of protein in the urine is an important indication of what type of disease?
The presence of protein in the urine, known as proteinuria, is an important indication of kidney disease. It can be a sign of damage to the filtering units of the kidney, allowing proteins to leak into the urine instead of being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Monitoring and addressing the underlying cause of proteinuria is crucial to prevent further kidney damage.
What are casts in a urinalysis?
Casts in a urinalysis are cylindrical structures formed in the kidney tubules and shed into the urine. They can indicate various conditions, such as kidney disease, dehydration, or urinary tract infections, depending on their composition and appearance under a microscope. Types of casts include hyaline, granular, cellular, fatty, waxy, and mixed casts.
Protein in a urinalysis?
Protein in a urinalysis typically indicates potential kidney damage or dysfunction. It could be a sign of conditions such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, or dehydration. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
What is tubular kidney disease?
Tubular kidney disease-- Disease of the kidney that affect the tubules, the part of the kidney that allows certain substances to be reabsorbed back into the blood
What kind of disease is IgA Nephropathy?
IgA Nephropathy is a kidney disease. It is more like a disorder, where the IgA-protein that helps the body fight infections, settles in the kidneys. Ultimately this results in a buildup of this protein in the kidneys, and later causes the kidneys to leak blood or protein in the urine.
