followed by an additional test on an early morning urine sample excluding the possibility of orthostatic proteinuria. Orthostatic proteinuria and other benign functional causes of proteinuria are more likely with low grade levels of proteinuria
Objective To evaluate the values of the combined the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula and qualitative classification of urine albumin on 2-year prognosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(PCI).Methods One thousand two hundred and one PCI patients were divided into 6 groups...
Data from Pool 2 (8 RCTs; n=9,158) were used to estimate the association between lab-reported PU and changes in kidney function based on serum creatinine (sCr) levels. Severity of kidney function change was categorized using the RIFLE classification for acute kidney injury (AKI). Potential ...
742 patients were enrolled and follow-up >3 years, and were divided into two groups according to eGFR levels at biopsy. Multivariable logistical regression revealed that proteinuria at biopsy (OR 5.307 (95% Cl 3.003 to 9.376) p = 0.000), tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis scores (T) in ...
Objective To investigate the relationship between pathological classification and proteinuria with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods 120 cases with type2 DN were enrolled in this study. Based on the urinary protein excretion,they were divided into four group. BUN, Scr and Alb were detected with ...
Classification of nephrotic disease Various terms are used to classify nephrotic syndrome depending on the histology. These terms describe the histological pattern of disease on renal biopsy and are generally not specific diagnoses. The exception to this is FSGS; a disease entity causing nephrotic syndr...
Higher levels of proteinuria were associated with a higher risk of AF development (p for trend < 0.001). The incidence rate of AF in subjects with proteinuria 4+ was approximately two times higher compared to that in subjects with negative proteinuria (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.77–2.37, p...
CLASSIFICATIONALBUMINURIAMORTALITYPODOCYTEIn diabetes patients microalbuminuria correlates with a massively increased risk for the development of coronary heart disease. In order to reduce this risk and simultaneously the progression of diabetic nephropathy, medication which inhibits the renin-angiotensin-...
proteinuria only quantitative parameters have been used, establishing a cutoff, both albuminuria and proteinuria should be considered as a continuous variable, increasing the associated CV and renal risk in parallel to the increase in protein urinary excretion from levels as low as 8 to 10 mg/d [...
30 Considering the limitations of our study, there is need for further studies to collect more accurate information on levels of proteinuria. In the future, other potential adverse associations of isolated proteinuria on pregnancy and fetal complications need to be investigated. In conclusion, we ...
