Proteinuria is usually asymptomatic, meaning that a person will not notice any signs or symptoms due to the presence of high levels of protein in the urine. In severe proteinuria, frothy orfoamy urinemay be evident. Proteinuria is a sign of some underlying kidney or systemic disease – urinary...
Bacteria: Because of the abundance of normal microbial flora in the vagina and/or external urethral meatus, it is not uncommon to see bacteria in urine specimens. Similarly, if the urine specimen is left standing at room temperature for a considerable period, such bacteria can multiply rapidly....
MGUS is characterized by a serum IgG monoclonal protein less than 3.5 g/dL or IgA paraprotein less than 2 g/dL, with no or only a small amount of protein in urine (Bence Jones protein < 1 g/24 hr). Less than 10% plasma cells are present in bone marrow, and patients have no ...

A byproduct of dietary protein metabolism is nitrogen, which in turn is converted into urea by the liver and then excreted by the kidneys into the urine. The upper limit of protein ingestion is determined by the liver's ability to synthesize urea. When nitrogen intake from dietary protein ...
