  • Here, we describe the case of a 33-year-old man with HIV who was treated with tenofovir, following which he developed acute renal failure with proteinuria, glucosuria, hypouricemia, hypophosphatemia, and normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, which are suggestive of acute kidney injury with Fanconi's syndrome. (tmu.edu.tw)
  • Treatment is supportive as the disease course is generally benign and self-limited [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Time to renal flare, to severe systemic flare, to benign flare and to renal remission did not statistically differ. (qxmd.com)
  • Physicians have long considered childhood IgAN (cIgAN) a benign entity subject to remission and occasionally late relapse during adulthood [5]. (theisn.org)
  • However, the caveat remains that quantitative estimates of proteinuria performed at clinical chemistry laboratories reflect the sum total of several classes of proteins and yield a result greater than the actual amount of albumin in the specimen. (medscape.com)
  • Treatment records of 1800 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were included in the clinical trials of auranofin in the United States were examined for data on development of proteinuria. (nih.gov)
  • Clinical features from the history, physical examination, and laboratory tests help determine the cause of proteinuria. (medbullets.com)
  • Nephrotic syndrome refers to the constellation of clinical findings that result from severe renal loss of protein, with Proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. (nih.gov)
  • Although large clinical studies and postmarketing data support a benign renal profile for tenofovir, numerous cases of kidney injury have raised concerns about its nephrotoxic potential. (tmu.edu.tw)
  • Repeated tests, perhaps up to 3 times over a period of several weeks, should be performed to verify that a single instance of proteinuria is, in fact, persistent. (medscape.com)
  • First-voided morning specimens should be used to establish if proteinuria is persistent. (medscape.com)
  • Persistent proteinuria may be associated with more serious renal diseases. (medbullets.com)
  • Proteinuria is common in children and may represent a benign condition or a serious underlying renal disease or systemic disorder. (medbullets.com)
  • HSP is characterized by non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura, mostly located on the lower extremities and buttocks, arthralgia/arthritis, bowel angina, and haematuria/proteinuria. (biomedcentral.com)
  • It is termed benign because it rarely progresses to clinically significant chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. (wikipedia.org)
  • This discussion focuses on proteinuria in children who appear well and in whom proteinuria is often incidentally discovered during an examination done for reasons other than an evaluation for suspected kidney disease. (medscape.com)
  • Non-selective proteinuria is a common sign of kidney disease and can occur in multiple medical conditions. (kidneyhealth.com.sg)
  • Occasionally, proteinuria is an early indication of chronic kidney disease, a gradual loss of kidney function that may eventually require dialysis or a kidney transplant. (apnaupchar.com)
  • Although HSP is mostly a benign and curable children's disease, complications and morbidity that can occur are exclusively related to renal damage. (srce.hr)
  • Skin disease: proteinuria, hypercalciuria and continuing pain. (postfallsonthego.com)
  • Herein, we discuss the case of a 61-year-old man whose predominant manifestations were acute kidney injury and proteinuria. (cdc.gov)
  • Proteinuria is the presence of excess proteins in the urine . (mdwiki.org)

  • Does Proteinuria Cause Symptoms? (kidneyhealth.com.sg)
  • Proteinuria may not cause any noticeable symptoms in some individuals but in other individuals, causes a wide variety of symptoms, depending on the underlying cause and the seriousness of the condition. (kidneyhealth.com.sg)
  • One of the most common symptoms of proteinuria is the appearance of foamy or bubbly urine. (kidneyhealth.com.sg)
  • It resembles neoplasms, either benign or malignant. (bvsalud.org)
  • Three percent (41) of 1283 auranofin-treated patients had an abnormal 24-hour urine protein level: 15 had mild (0.15 to 1 g/d), 17 had moderate (1 to 3.5 g/d), and 9 had heavy (greater than 3.5 g/d) proteinuria. (nih.gov)
  • Permanent renal impairment did not occur, and proteinuria did not persist beyond 12 months in most patients. (nih.gov)
  • Seven of eight patients who were rechallenged when the proteinuria had cleared were able to continue treatment without relapse. (nih.gov)
  • In similar groups of patients, the risk of developing proteinuria with auranofin therapy is significantly less than that with parenteral gold therapy (p less than 0.05) and similar to that with background therapy with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (p = 0.92). (nih.gov)
  • [2] [4] Proteinuria is defined as a urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) of more than 45 to 50 mg/mmol (400 mg/g to 440 mg/g) or a urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) of greater than 30 mg/mmol. (mdwiki.org)
