the urine maybe a sign of kidney disease and other serious diseases. " how the
protein in the urine affects human body?" is frequently asked.
The harmful effects caused by protein in the urine
1. Glomerular sclerosis. Protein in the urine may lead to glomerular
sclerosis. The LDL and VLDL may deposit in the glomeruli, which may lead to
glomerular sclerosis.
2. Impair the tubular cells. Massive proteinuria makes the renal tubules
reabsorb more protein and promotes more production of ammonia which can worsen
the progressive mesenchyme pathological changes. What’s more, extra energy is
needed for the reabsorption and digestion of massive protein, which can cause
tubular anoxia and more production of oxygen radicals, thus leading to the
impairments of tubular cells
3. Damage the kidneys. Protein filtered through healthy glomeruli is
reabsorbed by tubular epithelial cells and resolves in lysosome . The good
glomerular permeability results in massive leakage of plasma protein into
tubular cavity. As a result, the kidneys are damaged.
4. Swelling. Protein in the urine can lead to the swelling in the any part of
the body.
Protein is a most crucial substances helping human body fight with infection.
