	'''Proteinuria''' derives its name from the combination of the words ''protein'' and ''urine''. It signifies the presence of an excessive quantity of serum [[protein]]s in the [[urine]]. The phenomenon often acts as a clinical marker, pointing towards potential damage to the renal ([[kidney]]) system.

	While serum proteins are naturally reabsorbed from urine, their excessive presence suggests anomalies in the renal functions. This can be indicative of either an insufficiency in absorption or issues related to impaired filtration. A commonly observed instance of this phenomenon is among [[diabetics]].

	Advanced stages of proteinuria can escalate to [[hypoproteinemia]], which is characterized by an overall decrease in the protein content in the blood. This can lead to a reduced [[oncotic pressure]], manifesting symptoms like [[ascites]] (fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity), [[edema]] (swelling due to fluid retention), and hydrothorax (fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity).
