Proteinuria Variability and IgAN Diagnosis
Author(s):
Key Takeaways
- Clinicians evaluate proteinuria significance using 24-hour urine collection or spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, focusing on quantity and persistence.
- Proteinuria levels exceeding 1g/day typically prompt further investigation for potential IgA nephropathy.
Panelists discuss how clinicians determine the significance of proteinuria in assessing patients for potential IgA nephropathy (IgAN), including the levels and patterns that prompt further investigation and the specific diagnostic red flags that may suggest IgAN over other kidney disorders.
- How do clinicians determine the significance of proteinuria when assessing a patient for potential IgA nephropathy? (IgAN)?
- What levels or patterns of proteinuria typically prompt further investigation?
- What, if any, specific diagnostic red flags in proteinuria patterns suggest IgAN over other kidney disorders?
