The typing of proteinuria is one of the complementary examinations carried out during the exploration of proteinuria. It aims to separate and identify the different proteins, or fractions of proteins, that make up proteinuria. The nature and relative importance of the proteins present reflect the location of the renal involvement and help to determine the etiology. The typing of a proteinuria also allows the detection of a monoclonal component in urine and its quantification. Finally, it allows highlighting the existence of a proteinuria of overload that can occur in the absence of kidney damage. Many methods allow the typing of proteinuria, and these have benefited in recent years from technological advances. The purpose of this review is to summarize typing methods currently used, their benefits and limitations, and the help that these diagnostic tools can provide to the management of patients.

Urinary Microalbumin predicts early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke: A study based on etiological classification.

Introduction: To investigate the correlation between urinary microalbumin (U-Alb) levels and early neurological deterioration (END), as well as its predictive ability, in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) under different etiological subtypes.
Materials And Methods: We consecutively enrolled AIS patients within 72 h of onset, collecting relevant clinical characteristics and baseline laboratory data including U-Alb. END was defined as an increase of ≥4 points in NIHSS score within 72 h of onset, and TOAST criteria were used for stroke etiologic typing.

Amyloidosis is a complex group of rare disorders characterized by the deposition of misfolded proteins in the extracellular space of various tissues and organs, leading to progressive organ dysfunction. The kidneys constitute a very common site affected, most notably by immunoglobulin-mediated (light chain, heavy chain, and light and heavy chain amyloidosis), but other types that include serum amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis and leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloidosis, along with mutant proteins in several hereditary forms of amyloidosis such as transthyretin, fibrinogen α-chain, gelsolin, lysozyme, and apolipoproteins AI/AII/AIV/CII/CIII amyloidosis have been incriminated as well. The clinical presentation is variable and can range from minimal proteinuria for leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloidosis to a full-blown nephrotic syndrome for AA amyloidosis.

Nephrotic syndrome is one of the most prevalent pediatric kidney illnesses seen in pediatric nephrology clinics. Steroid resistance in children with nephrotic syndrome is a primary cause of renal failure and is characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria that does not respond to conventional steroid therapy. The current work was intended to investigate the possible role of the Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (rs7922612) and collagen4 alpha 3 (rs375290088) single nucleotide polymorphisms as risk factors for developing nephrotic syndrome among Egyptian children.

Article Synopsis
- Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a common problem after kidney transplants and can cause the new kidney to fail.
- A 48-year-old woman who got a new kidney after being on dialysis had early signs of AMR, even though she didn't have antibodies before the surgery.
- Scientists found that her body's reaction was because she had previous pregnancies that created similar antibodies, and her husband’s tissue matched some parts of the donor’s kidney, causing the immune response.

The first orientation test for proteinuria typing is electrophoresis. However, this technique has several drawbacks, such as delayed turnaround time and subjective readings. Some laboratories therefore use quantitative assays of glomerular markers combined with tubular markers.
