In fact, there is filtration membrane in the our glomeruli, and that can filter the wastes out from our kidney and keep the useful substances in our blood. While lupus nephritis can cause immune complexes to accumulate in patient’s filtration membrane, which can increase its permeability. So nutrients that should be kept in blood may leak out through patient’s urine.
Protein is an important nutrient that should be kept in blood, but that can also leak out when the permeability has been increased. And when there is massive amount of protein leaking out from patient’s urine, that can cause patient to have foams in his urine. And foams caused by proteinuria are small foams, and they can stay on the surface of urine for a long time.
