Proteinuria: More than a sign, an early warning

The presence of protein in the urine, known as proteinuria, is not a disease in itself. It’s evidence that something is damaging the kidney’s structure. It can be compared to an ultra-fine sieve that begins to crack: what it was supposed to retain starts to leak out.

The worrying thing is not only that proteinuria exists, but how common it is, especially in people with risk factors. In those with high blood pressure, up to one in three may experience some degree of protein loss in their urine. In people with diabetes, between 30% and 40% will develop kidney damage during their lifetime.
