Is proteinuria a sign of kidney disease?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Could be: Normal individuals excrete a small amount of protein (up to 100 mg for children, 150mg for adolescents, and 200 mg for adults in 24 hours). Significant proteinuria is associated with a whole host of kidney diseases, not necessarily serious though. Orthostatic proteinuria is an example of benign one.

Yes: Proteinuria is considered a sign of kidney damage and based on the amount, is now even used to classify chronic kidney disease.
