Proteinuria is an important finding in patients because it may signify either a benign
disorder or renal disease. A systematic approach to evaluation is required to determine

is indicated. Although the causes of proteinuria are diverse, a structured approach
to the patient with proteinuria provides maximal information with minimal expense
and risk.
