Does proteinuria and hematuria cause uremia?

Many people know that kidney disease can lead to proteinuria and hematuria, so many people feel that their conditions are serious when they have proteinuria or hematuria.
The significance of proteinuria in renal function.
The leakage of proteinuria indicates that renal filtration function declines, but the amount of urine protein does not reflect the severity of kidney disease.
For example, minor lesion type Nephritis and mild mesangial proliferative nephritis, kidney disease is mild, but daily urine protein amount can reach a few grams or even a dozen grams.
For most primary nephritis, the risk of renal function progression is small if 24h of urine protein falls below 0.5g/ day.
Does proteinuria and hematuria cause uremia?
The significance of hematuria in renal function.
In the urine test, besides looking at whether the blood is positive, you should also pay attention to the number of red blood cells in the urine.
Note that changes in the color of urine caused by non-nephrotic factors, such as fruit with a natural pigment from beetroot or carrot, and urine is returned to normal if the cause is removed.
Urinary tract infections, urethral stones, etc., may also cause the urine to become red, which should be distinguished. If hematuria is not controlled for long time, it would cause glomerular sclerosis, further causing kidney damage.
