Protein is an important substance to our body. In normal condition, few protein can be foud in the urine under microscope. While for patients with low kidney function, there are severe damage in their kidneys, which is the reason of patients’ proteinuria.
Kidney mainly consists of nephron, and nephron consists of kidney tubule and glomerulus. Glomerulus has the function of keeping most of the useful substances in blood, and kidney tubule can reabsorb the leaked substances back to blood. Thereby, once patients’ kidney is severely damaged, the function of filtration and reabsorption will also be damaged, and lots of useful substances will leak out from patients’ blood to their urine. As a result, bubble appears in their urine.
Leaked protein is caused by kidney damage, and it can also aggravate the damage severely, so patients should control this condition as soon as possible. As we know, the root of proteinuria is patients’ kidney damage, so patients should do their best to improve their kidney function in their diet, life, treatment.
