INTRODUCTION — <span>Total urinary protein excretion in the normal adult should be less than 150 mg/day. Higher rates of protein excretion that persist beyond a single measurement should be evaluated, as they often imply an increase in glomerular permeability that allows the filtration of

se. Measuring the urine concentrations of both albumin and total protein (with either two separate tests or with a urine protein electrophoresis) can help determine the type of proteinuria [2]. <span>In this study of 1011 patients, of whom 68 had a kidney biopsy, the ratio of the urine albumin to total protein concentration was generally less than 0.4 in patients with tubular or overflow proteinuria and greater than 0.4 in patients with predominantly glomerular proteinuria. Glomerular proteinuria — Glomerular proteinuria is due to increased filtration of macromolecules (such as albumin) across the glomerular capillary wall. This is a sensitive marker for

In one study of more than 2000 patients, for example, a urine dipstick for proteinuria of 2+ or higher was predictive of significant proteinuria (urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) greater than or equal to 500 mg/g) regardless of the specific gravity; however, a urine dipstick for proteinuria of trace or 1+ was only predictive of significant proteinuria if the specific gravity was 1.025 or less [9]

As a general rule in adults under the age of 50 years, daily creatinine excretion should be 20 to 25 mg/kg (177 to 221 micromol/kg) of lean body weight in men and 15 to 20 mg/kg (133 to 177 micromol/kg) of lean body weight in women. From the ages of 50 to 90 years, there is a progressive 50 percent decline in creatinine excretion (to approximately 10 mg/kg in men, lower in women) due primarily to a fall in muscle mass.
