This situation can create a vicious cycle: kidney disease can worsen hypertension, and hypertension can worsen kidney disease, thus creating a vicious cycle. Appropriate antihypertensive medication is necessary, and blood pressure should be monitored regularly. Simultaneously, relevant kidney examinations should be performed, including kidney function tests, urinalysis, blood tests, and renal ultrasound. A comprehensive analysis of the condition is needed to determine the correct treatment method. High urine protein is generally a manifestation of kidney disease. If prolonged hypertension causes renal artery sclerosis, affecting kidney function and leading to abnormal kidney function, it can potentially cause proteinuria. High blood pressure alone does not cause proteinuria.
Which department should I go to for proteinuria?
There are many factors that can cause proteinuria. Besides chronic urinary tract infections, it can also be related to autoimmune diseases such as chronic nephritis or diabetes. After a diagnosis, it's important to adhere to medication treatment as directed by a doctor. Simultaneously, pay attention to proper care, maintaining a light diet, drinking plenty of water, and consuming foods with heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory properties to promote faster recovery. The presence of elevated protein in the urine is commonly referred to as proteinuria. Clinically, it's usually detected when 24-hour urine protein levels exceed 150 mg, leading to proteinuria in routine urinalysis. For proteinuria, consult a nephrologist or urologist.
If urine protein is positive, which department should I go to?
The urine contains foam that doesn't dissipate quickly. I suggest you upload your test results, including the number of pluses for urine protein. I recommend a quantitative urine protein test. You should maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late and overworking, and avoid a diet high in salt and sugar, as these can worsen your condition. Strenuous exercise, fever, cold, mental stress, sympathetic nerve excitation, and stimulation by vasoactive substances can lead to increased glomerular capillary permeability and proteinuria, known as physiological proteinuria. In cases where there is no organic lesion in the urinary system, the proteinuria is temporary, mild, and requires no special treatment.
