Proteinuria is the condition of your kidneys when they leak abnormal amounts of protein in your urine. Normally protein is present in your urine but when it increases day by day, it indicates proteinuria. This is not a disease, this is a symptom of kidney disease that can be treated when it diagnosed otherwise it can create complications for another organ of your body. Albumin is one of the important proteins that are present inside your body. When your kidneys stop working, albumin gets passed out from the body through the process of urination. Kidney performs many crucial functions like filtering of waste materials like chemical waste and excess fluids from your blood. This waste excreted through urine.
If the proteinuria is not treated on time then it can lead to ESRD or end-stage renal disease which means your kidneys lose the ability to filter waste products from your blood. This may cause fluid and waste buildup in your body that can cause many serious health-related issues. Leakage of protein in urine can cause a deficiency of protein in your urine but you have to strictly avoid protein-rich diet when you have proteinuria. Ayurvedic treatment for leakage of protein can lower down the level of protein in your urine naturally.
