Discussion of underlying conditions of Proteinuria:

People with diabetes, hypertension, or certain family backgrounds are at risk for proteinuria. In the United States, diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the result of progressive kidney failure. In both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the first sign of deteriorating kidney function is the presence of small amounts of the protein albumin in the urine, called microalbuminuria. As kidney function declines, the amount of albumin in the urine increases, and microalbuminuria becomes full-fledged proteinuria.

High blood pressure is the second leading cause of ESRD. Proteinuria in people with high blood pressure is an indicator of declining kidney function. If the hypertension is not controlled, the person can progress to full renal failure. (Source: excerpt from Proteinuria: NIDDK)

About underlying conditions:
