title: Advances in the study of proteinurias. II. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of urinary proteins.
abstract: The methods for proteinuria detection and assay are reviewed, insisting on the main factors which influence the sensitivity and specificity of the techniques currently used in clinical practice. The up-to-date classifications of proteinurias and the follow-up methods are critically discussed, with special emphasis on the intermittent proteinurias and their diagnostic and prognostic significance, as well as on the diagnostic value of microalbuminuria.
