The evaluation of proteinuria involves several steps:
History and Physical Examination: To identify any underlying causes or associated conditions. Repeat urine tests: To confirm the presence and quantify the amount of protein. Blood tests: To assess kidney function and look for signs of systemic diseases. Imaging: Ultrasound may be used to look for structural abnormalities in the kidneys. Biopsy: In certain cases, a kidney biopsy may be required to diagnose the exact cause.
