Proteinuria Treatment in Dubai

Causes of Proteinuria

The most common causes of proteinuria are:

• Kidney diseases, such as glomerulonephritis and diabetes
• Systemic diseases such as lupus or amyloidosis

Other causes may include:

• Physical injury or trauma to the kidneys
• Heart failure
• High blood pressure
• Certain medications.

Symptoms of Proteinuria

The most common symptom of proteinuria is foamy or frothy urine. This is caused by the proteins present in the urine, which make it appear cloudy. Other common symptoms of proteinuria include tiredness, weight loss, and swelling in the hands, feet, or face.

Treatments for Proteinuria

The main goal of treatment for proteinuria is to reduce the amount of protein in the urine and to reduce the risk of further kidney damage. Treatment typically focus on managing the underlying cause of the proteinuria, such as controlling diabetes, treating high blood pressure, or managing systemic lupus erythematosus. Medications such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and loop diuretics may be prescribed to help reduce protein levels in the urine. In severe cases, kidney transplantation may be necessary.
