[Microproteinuria].
The microproteinuria is an increase in the urinary excretion of proteins (non-selective, mainly albumine) undetectable with the routine laboratory tests. The detection of microproteinuria has a relevant role in those diseases causing renal damage and with mechanisms involving the extravasation of proteins at the level of the glomerular ball. Such detection allows a therapeutical action and the evaluation of the results. If the disease is multisystemic, it would also be correlated with lesions in other affected organs.
