Misdiagnosis and Proteinuria
Interstitial cystitis an under-diagnosed bladder condition: The medical
condition of interstitial cystitic is a bladder condition that can be
misdiagnosed as various conditions such as overactive bladder or other causes of pelvic pain.
This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain or symptoms of urinary incontinence,
similar to overactive bladder.
Millions of patients may be misdiagnosed - an estimated third of the 9 million women with
chronic pelvic pain (CPP) or 4.5 million of the 17 million women with overactive bladder syndrome
do not respond well to treatment, and may have interstitial cystitis rather than their given diagnosis.
In other words, about 6 million US women may have misdiagnosed interstitial cystitis.

Diagnostic tests for Proteinuria:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Proteinuria. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Blood pressure - e.g. if high blood pressure may suggest hypertension induced proteinuria, preeclampsia, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidneys, lupus erythematosus, heart disease.
- Inspect for edema (swelling) of ankles, legs, face, abdomen and genitals
- Examine for the butterfly shaped facial rash of systemic lupus erythematosus
- Abdominal palpation for mass in flanks - e.g. bilateral flank massesmay suggest polycystic kidneys; a unilateral flank mass may suggest a hypernephroma (kidney cancer).
- Examine for signs of complications of Diabetes mellitus including cataracts, diabetes retinopathy, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, candida skin and genital infections, peripheral neuropathy

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Proteinuria.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- When was the proteinuria (excessive protein excreted in urine) discovered?
- Is the patient a child and has suffered a Streptococcal infection - ( e.g. tonsillitis, pharyngitis, middle ear infection or cellulitis) 1-3 weeks before the onset of the proteinuria? - suggests post streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a disorder of infancy and childhood that follows a febrile illness, particularly gastroenteritis or an upper respiratory tract infection.
- Are you pregnant? - may suggest pregnancy induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. Any person with systemic lupus erythematosus who gets pregnant is at risk of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
- Have you had an injury such as a blow to the loin? - Trauma to the kidneys may cause proteinuria.
- Past medical history? - e.g. diabetes, amyloidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, multiple myeloma, congestive cardiac failure, high blood pressure.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Proteinuria) may include:
- Fever? - Temperature may suggest urinary tract infection or lupus erythematosus. A fever itself may also cause proteinuria.
- Butterfly shaped facial rash? - suggests systemic lupus erythematosus.
- Coughing up blood? - if associated with protein in the urine may suggest Goodpastures syndrome.
- Abdominal pain? - may suggest renal stones, kidney contusion (bruising from trauma), kidney laceration, glomerulonephritis, renal cancer or polycystic kidneys.
- Symptoms of nephrotic syndrome? - e.g. swelling of the ankles and legs, swelling of the abdomen, face and arms may also be present (especially in children). Swelling of the genitals is sometimes seen.

Article Excerpts about Proteinuria
Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal
amount of protein.
Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts,
including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also
perform a number of important functions: protecting you from infection,
helping your blood coagulate, and keeping the right amount of fluid
circulating through your body.
(Source: excerpt from Proteinuria: NIDDK)
A
condition in which the urine
contains large amounts of protein, a sign that the kidneys
are not functioning properly. (Source: excerpt from Kidney Failure Glossary: NIDDK)
Proteinuria is the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in
the urine. Healthy kidneys take wastes out of the blood but leave in
protein. Protein in the urine does not cause a problem by itself. But it
may be a sign that your kidneys are not working properly.
