Kidneys leak protein into the urine primarily due to damage or dysfunction in the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys. Conditions such as Diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis can impair the glomerular filtration barrier, allowing proteins like albumin to escape into the urine. This proteinuria can indicate underlying kidney disease or systemic issues that require further evaluation and management.

What is the term for waste products of protein metabolism eliminated by kidneys?
