Did you know that drinking less water leads to higher urine protein?

High urine protein is a headache for many people, because once this happens, it will inevitably cause other complications. The causes of this situation are very diverse. So will drinking less water cause high urine protein? Let me explain it to you in detail below!

1. In daily life, we can prevent the occurrence of kidney disease by drinking more water and staying away from cold food. When the human body has a fever, engages in strenuous exercise (such as running a marathon), does heavy physical labor, is emotionally excited, or is too cold or too hot, the amount of urine protein excreted may increase, which is called physiological proteinuria. Normality returns to normal after a few hours or days.

2. Proteinuria caused by various primary or secondary kidney diseases is called pathological proteinuria. The so-called primary kidney diseases include: acute and chronic nephritis, rapidly progressive nephritis, latent nephritis, nephrotic syndrome,

3. IgA nephropathy, hereditary kidney disease; common secondary kidney diseases include: systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis, scleroderma renal damage, vasculitis renal damage, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive renal arteriosclerosis, symptomatic renal damage caused by pregnancy poisoning, renal amyloid degeneration, heart failure, infectious diseases such as hemorrhagic fever, toxic diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Pathological proteinuria often occurs, with a high protein content in the urine, exceeding 150 mg/day, and even reaching more than 20 grams. Urine examination may (or may not) contain red blood cells, white blood cells, casts, etc.

4. If urine protein appears in the first examination, another examination is required. If abnormalities are still found after further examination, urine protein quantification and other urine, blood, ultrasound, X-ray and even kidney biopsy will be required to clarify the nature of the disease and the treatment plan. As for whether drinking more water is good, the relevant person said: "If you think drinking a lot of water every day is good for your body, you are wrong, because drinking too much water seems to have no other benefits except making you go to the toilet more often."

5. Some researchers even claim that the information that people should drink a lot of water is wrong, because many people do not need so much, and the food we eat also contains water. People with certain diseases, such as kidney stones, colds, fever, etc. should drink more water. For others, just drink to quench their thirst, and that includes tea, coffee, and beer.
