  2. Albuminuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuminuria

    Albuminuria is a pathological condition wherein the protein albumin is abnormally present in the urine (>30 mg per day). It is a type of proteinuria.Albumin is a major plasma protein (normally circulating in the blood); in healthy people, only trace amounts of it are present in urine, whereas larger amounts occur in the urine of patients with kidney disease.

  3. Microalbuminuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microalbuminuria

    Normally, the kidneys filter albumin, so if albumin is found in the urine, then it is a marker of kidney disease. The term microalbuminuria is now discouraged by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes [ 1 ] and has been replaced by moderately increased albuminuria .

  4. Albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumin

    Albumin is a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All of the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experience heat denaturation. Albumins are commonly found in blood plasma and differ from other blood proteins in that they are not ...

  5. Proteinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria

    Albumin is a protein produced by the liver which makes up roughly 50%-60% of the total proteins in the blood while the other 40%-50% are proteins other than albumin, such as immunoglobins. [ 15 ] [ 14 ] This is why the concentration of albumin in the urine is one of the single sensitive indicators of kidney disease, particularly for those with ...

  7. Urine test strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_test_strip

    Due to its low molecular weight, albumin is the major serum protein found in the plasma, the normal urinary albumin content is low because the majority of albumin presented in the glomerulus is not filtered, and much of the filtered albumin is reabsorbed by the tubules. Other proteins include small amounts of serum and tubular microglobulins.

  9. Nephrotic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrotic_syndrome

    In nephrotic syndrome, the glomeruli are affected by an inflammation or a hyalinization (the formation of a homogenous crystalline material within cells) that allows proteins such as albumin, antithrombin or the immunoglobulins to pass through the cell membrane and appear in urine. [15] Albumin is the main protein in the blood that is able to ...
