Ellen, a 47-year-old woman who has suffered kidney disease for several years, has been diagnosed with proteinuria. Her legs and feet are so swollen that she has difficulty walking. Her hands and her left arm are also swollen. What is proteinuria, and could this condition be playing a role in her swollen limbs?
Proteinuria is a condition in which large amounts of plasma proteins pass into the glomerular filtrate and are excreted in the urine,
decreasing the colloid osmotic pressure. This causes more fluid to leave the blood into the tissues in the body, resulting in edema.
Proteinuria is when there are excessive levels of protein in the blood, resulting in an increased colloid osmotic pressure. The increased osmotic pressure forces fluid into the tissues, resulting in edema.
Proteinuria is when there are excessive levels of protein in the blood, resulting in an increased colloid osmotic pressure. This does not relate to the
edema seen in this case.
Proteinuria is a condition in which proteins are actively secreted into the kidneys at the DCT. This decreases the colloid osmotic pressure, causing more fluid to leave the blood into the tissues in the body, resulting in edema.
Proteinuria is when the liver does not make enough plasma proteins, resulting in a decreased colloid osmotic pressure. This causes more fluid to leave the blood into the tissues in the body, resulting in edema.
