Patient's question:
My dear aunt, she is now 68 years old, and her health condition is relatively good. However, her blood pressure is a bit high. Her family members are very careful about her living situation, especially regarding her diet. You have high blood pressure and proteinuria, why is it intermittent?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension can lead to harm to kidney function, and after kidney function is harmed, proteinuria may reappear. This is due to the filtration of the glomeruli and tubules of the kidneys. The harm to kidney function is continuous. Proteinuria occasionally reappears and is related to two factors. The first is the accuracy of the test, its precision. The second, for example, if you have a cold, you don't cough all the time; coughing is intermittent. The same principle applies to proteinuria.
