Is it serious if a woman has 2 urine proteins?

For female friends, if the urine protein shows two plus, it is quite serious. They will obviously feel some changes in their body condition, especially when the result shows positive after the examination, which is very abnormal, because the protein in the normal range is negative, and there will be no urine protein reaction. The occurrence of these symptoms indicates that they may suffer from kidney disease.

There is always a certain amount of protein in the blood that is indispensable to human life activities. Some of the protein is filtered into the urine in the glomeruli of the kidneys, but is absorbed back into the blood in the renal tubules. Therefore, if the kidneys function normally, only a small amount of protein will appear in the urine. However, when there is an obstruction in the kidneys and ureters, a large amount of protein will leak out and become proteinuria. There is a trace amount of protein in the urine of normal people, which is qualitatively negative within the normal range and recorded as (-). When the protein content in urine is more than 0.15g/24h, it is called proteinuria, and routine urine tests may show positive results.

Urine protein is a normal component in urine. Normal people usually excrete 40-80 mg of protein in urine per day, with an upper limit of 150 mg/day. Routine tests show negative protein in urine. Protein in urine within the normal range is urine protein. When a urine protein test is positive, it is abnormal.

Proteinuria

If the protein/urine protein in a routine urine test shows +, ++, +++, etc., it means proteinuria. In general, the urine test for total protein is negative, but when it is positive, kidney disease is suspected. The human kidneys are a filtering system that excretes waste into urine. Normal glomerular filtrate contains a small amount of small molecular protein, with a content of 20 mg/100 ml. After being reabsorbed by the renal tubules, the protein remaining in the urine does not exceed 70-100 mg/24 hours, and cannot be detected by routine urine tests. When the kidney's intrinsic cells are damaged and the absorption function is impaired, protein will leak out and become proteinuria.

The difference between urine protein and proteinuria: From the above, it can be seen that urine protein is a normal component in urine, while proteinuria is a general term for protein in urine exceeding a certain range. There is still a difference between the two.

It can be seen from this that the presence or absence of proteinuria is an important indicator for monitoring kidney disease and plays a vital role in physical examinations.
