Serum proteinuria

The concept of "proteinuria"

Protein diseases are a group of syndromes characterized by dysfunction or disorder of proteins in the blood or the release of protein from the kidneys in the urine called proteinuria. Protein is found in the capsules of red blood cells and inside these very red blood cells. When too much protein is found in the urine, the opposite happens: the protein begins to pass through the barrier membranes. As a result, proteins move freely into the blood, eventually causing the development of general proteinemia, which affects all vital systems in the human body.

Specific symptoms associated with the presence of protein in the urine may include: dry skin; prostration; pallor in women; asthenic syndrome (i.e. fever, diarrhea); disorders of the nervous system (dizziness, impaired thinking, impaired coordination, memory loss); hemorrhagic syndrome in older people (hemorrhages anywhere in the body, bruises, bruises without any external mechanical influences on the body, bleeding of various types); increased secretion of saliva (in men); feeling of hunger, pain in men and women when urinating; smell of acetone from the mouth; insomnia; swelling under the eyes; itching or rash on the skin.

**Proteinuria** is a general term for all identified protein disorders
