The presence of albumin in urine, known as albuminuria, may indicate kidney dysfunction or damage, as healthy kidneys typically prevent large proteins like albumin from entering the urine. It can be a sign of conditions such as diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis. Additionally, albuminuria can be an early marker for cardiovascular disease. Monitoring levels can help assess kidney health and guide treatment decisions.
The presence of albumin in urine, known as albuminuria, can indicate several pathological conditions, primarily related to kidney dysfunction. It is commonly associated with diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis, which can impair the kidneys' ability to filter proteins effectively. Additionally, conditions like heart failure or systemic diseases such as lupus can also lead to increased albumin excretion. Persistent albuminuria is often a sign of chronic kidney disease and warrants further evaluation.
Hypoalbuminemia is a decreased amount of albumin in the blood.
galactosemia is a rare congenital disease in infants, inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder.here galactose metabolism is impaired leading to increased galactose levels in circulation and urine.the clinical symptoms areloss of weight(in infants). hepatosplenomegalyjaundicemental retardationin severe cases- cataract, amino aciduria and albuminuria are observed.
