proteinurisk
Proteinurisk is a term used in some clinical and research contexts to denote the estimated risk that an individual will develop proteinuria, defined as abnormal excretion of proteins in urine. It is not a standardized diagnostic category, but a probabilistic concept used to stratify individuals for screening and prevention.
Assessment typically combines clinical data and baseline urinary findings. Inputs may include age, sex, blood pressure,
Clinical significance: Proteinuria reflects kidney disease and is a predictor of cardiovascular risk. Identifying a high
Risk factors: Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, existing chronic kidney disease, older age, and genetic predispositions
Management implications: For individuals with elevated proteinurisk, clinicians may schedule regular urine testing, optimize risk factors
Limitations: Because proteinurisk is not a standardized metric, definitions and thresholds differ across studies. Its accuracy
