What causes proteinuria in PKD?

To know clearly about how proteinuria is formed in PKD, it is necessary to learn about why no protein is found in urine in normal condition.

Protein is an important substance of our body. In normal cases, protein gotten from food circulate with blood and is gradually used to play different role in our body. Protein circulate with blood and when blood flow through kidney, some substances and fluids pass through glomerular filtration membrane freely, but for protein, they are kept in the blood. This is the reason why no protein is found in urine in normal cases.

However for PKD patients, due to enlargement and increase of kidney cyst, glomerular filtration is finally damaged. Under such a condition, proteins pass through this membrane freely as well and as a consequence of this, proteinuria is formed.

Treatment for proteinuria in PKD

In medicine, proteinuria presents as foamy urine. For PKD patients, since the formation of proteinuria is closely related with damages on glomerular filtration membrane, if we want to get proteinuria treated well, we must repaired injured glomerular filtration membrane and meanwhile stop further damages on the membrane.

In PKD, kidney tissues are injured due to enlarged and increased kidney cyst, so shrinking kidney cyst is the best solution.
