What aspects are involved in an immune urine test?
1. Immunological urine test is related to kidney diseases.
2. Urine immunological test refers to collecting the patient's urine to detect the concentration of various immunoglobulins in the urine. Normally, human urine contains a small amount of immunoglobulins, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the immunoglobulin value in the urine test increases abnormally, it indicates glomerular injury, leading to increased glomerular permeability and increased passage of proteins through the basement membrane. If this exceeds the absorption capacity of the renal tubules, the proteinuria will be positive, such as in cases of acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, lupus nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, etc.
3. However, not all positive proteinuria is indicative of kidney disease. It may also be caused by conditions such as fever, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, diabetes, Sjögren's syndrome, and other reasons. Short-term proteinuria, especially in young people, may be caused by physiological reasons such as intense exercise, prolonged standing, high temperatures, and colds. It will gradually improve after a period of time.
4. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to visit a hospital for professional diagnosis. After determining the cause of the illness, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
