	Albuminuria -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Albuminuria is a (Click link for more info and facts about pathological) pathological condition where (A simple water-soluble protein found in many animal tissues and liquids) albumin is present in the (Liquid excretory product) urine.
		The (Either of two bean-shaped excretory organs that filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them and water in urine; urine passes out of the kidney through ureters to the bladder) kidneys normally filter out large molecules from the urine, so albuminuria can be an indicator of damage to the kidneys.
		The (A syndrome characterized by edema and large amounts of protein in the urine and usually increased blood cholesterol; usually associated with glomerulonephritis or with a complication of various systemic diseases) nephrotic syndrome usually results in the excretion of about 3.0 to 3.5 grams per 24 hours.

	Angiotensin II receptor blockade in diabetic nephropathy
		Diabetic nephropathy is a clinical syndrome characterized by persistent albuminuria, increasing arterial blood pressure, a relentless decline in GFR and highly elevated risk for cardiovascular morbidity (1) and mortality (2; 3).
		Albuminuria remained unchanged in the placebo group, but was significantly decreased by 24% and 38% during treatment with 150 mg and 300 mg, respectively.
		Albuminuria in the placebo period was 1156 (643-2080) mg/24 hours (geometric mean; 95% CI) and was significantly reduced by 33% (12-51; 95% CI) by losartan 50 mg, 44% (26-57) by losartan 100 mg, 45% (23-61) by enalapril 10 mg and 59% (39-72) during treatment with enalapril 20 mg.

		Etiology.—The terms albuminuria and Bright's disease were used synonymously for a number of years, and to detect albumin in the urine was proof sufficient for a diagnosis of nephritis.
		Dietetic Albuminuria is that form where albumin appears in the urine after the ingestion of certain articles of food, notably eggs, cheese, and pastry, or any full meal, especially where digestion is faulty or where severe exertion takes place immediately after a meal.
		Albuminuria due to fever and hemic changes is nearly always transient, and disappears with the subsidence of the fever.

		Albuminuria normally refers to greater than 300 mg/d of albuminuria, with the term microalbuminuria being used to describe smaller degrees of albuminuria (ie, 30-300 mg/d).
		Although albuminuria can be detected in a semiquantitative fashion using urine dipsticks, such dipstick tests are relatively insensitive because they cannot detect levels of albuminuria that are less than 300-500 mg/d.

		Albuminuria is associated with increased circulating cholesterol, hypertension and insulin resistance, all of which have been linked to excess cardiovascular disease.

		In the meantime the challenge is to correct the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease that aggregate in patients with albuminuria.

	Tresorie - ALBUMINURIA IN CHILDREN [Albuminuria In Children]
		Albuminuria, we know, may be produced in children from a variety of causes; the rarest causation, however, is, I think, due to pressure on the renal veins; but let the causative agent be what it may, I believe albuminuria should always be viewed with gravity.
		Physiological albuminuria, however, is a term which has fund so much favor with the profession generally, that whatever the belief may be, it-the term-will, in al probability, remain in vague.
		The causes of "Albuminuria in Children" are many, are unforeseen, and it appears to me quite impossible to treat of it prophylactically.

		Heavy albuminuria may exceed the capacity of lysosomes in the PCT cells to metabolize reabsorbed protein, and toxic enzymes may leak into the cells and the surrounding renal interstitium as a consequence of lysosomal degranulation.
		Because microalbuminuria and transient albuminuria occur frequently in the absence of serious underlying renal disease, considering the more common and benign causes of albuminuria first is important.
		Monitoring of albuminuria, the presence or absence of other indicators of renal disease, complications of nephrotic syndrome, treatment effectiveness, and adverse effects is required.

		Microalbuminuria, an excess of the urinary protein albumin in urine, is increasingly recognized as a novel and early sign of the onset of diabetic nephropathy, the damage caused to kidneys by diabetes.
		Differing types of albuminuria and outcomes of these varying forms as well as the propensity of damage of each urinary protein will also be discussed.
		The session concludes with a discussion over the pharmacoeconomics of prevention, with data from the RENAAL and IRMA2 trials indicating that both early and late intervention with strategies that lower blood pressure and albuminuria have a significant beneficial economic impact, and that earlier detection is key.

		In the patients with albuminuria (three with microalbuminuria and one with macroalbuminuria), systemic blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) and urinary excretion of albumin were decreased by the decrease in sodium intake.
		Recently using a method for the estimation of glomerular capillary pressure in type 2 diabetic patients with albuminuria, we found increases in the glomerular pressure, which causes albuminuria, and decreases in the whole-kidney ultrafiltration coefficient compared with type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria [22].
		The correlation between SSI and albuminuria in diabetic patients with normal serum creatinine levels and with or without hypertension is consistent with glomerular hypertension being more important than systemic hypertension in the progress of nephropathy.
