Why does kidney disease lead to hypoproteinemia


Dedicated to your healing journey.
Kidney disease can lead to hypoproteinemia due to renal damage, protein intake deficiency, renal tubular decomposition capacity increased.
1, renal damage
patients because kidney damage may lead to glomerular damage, so that a large number of protein through the glomerular filtration membrane excretion, it is easy to form hypoproteinemia.
2, insufficient protein intake
patients may be due to kidney disease caused by severe edema of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the absorption capacity of the body, and then due to insufficient protein intake, unable to compensate for the loss of protein in the body, forming hypoproteinemia.
3, renal tubular decomposition capacity increased
patients may be due to increased renal tubular decomposition capacity, resulting in significantly increased protein metabolism, and thus cause the above diseases.
