What does urine protein 0.2+ mean?


Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
Urinary protein 0.2+-refers to trace amount of urinary protein found in urine routine examination, indicating that there is a small amount of macromolecular protein in urine.
Severe exercise, cold weather, mental stress and other factors can lead to renal vascular congestion, resulting in a transient decline in glomerular filtration function, resulting in a mild increase in urinary protein. Generally, it can recover after removing the above reasons, and no special treatment is required.
Diseases such as glomerulonephritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus, and diabetes can also cause urinary protein 0.2+-. Patients need to further perform 24-hour urinary protein quantification, blood uric acid determination, and blood glucose determination to determine the cause and determine the treatment plan.
