Will severe kidney inflammation cause protein in urine?

Inflammation is a relatively common type of disease. It is very prevalent in life and almost everyone has been affected by it. Among them, inflammation inside the body is more harmful and usually brings more severe pain to people's bodies. For example, kidney inflammation is an issue that people need to pay great attention to. Let's take a look at whether severe kidney inflammation will cause proteinuria?

The amount of protein in a normal adult's urine is very small. Usually, no protein can be seen in a routine urine test because most of the protein has been reabsorbed by the kidneys and used by the body. If a routine urine test indicates an increase in urine protein and there are three plus signs, it means that the urine protein content is too high, which mostly indicates inflammation of the kidneys themselves or complications from other diseases such as diabetes.

When the protein content in urine is more than 0.15g/24h, it is called proteinuria. However, the positive rate of protein in the urine, that is, the number of plus signs, is not consistent with the damage to the kidney itself, so they cannot be equated, that is, the more urine protein, the more serious the damage. Your current condition can be called proteinuria, which indicates the possibility of urinary tract disease and primary kidney disease, which requires further examination of your kidney function and blood sugar.

When occult blood appears in the second plus, it is more serious. It indicates a urinary system infection or bleeding symptoms. Treat with cephalosporin infusion. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, eat a low-salt diet, drink plenty of water, and actively repeat urine routine examinations.

If you are diagnosed with nephritis or secondary renal damage, you should consider measuring the 24-hour urine protein quantity. It is best to perform a renal puncture to determine the pathological type in order to better understand the condition and provide targeted medication treatment. Generally, protein-lowering treatments include hormones, immunosuppressants, and RAS system antihypertensive drugs. If these do not have a good effect, you can only try traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
