Abstract
Asymptomatic proteinuria is defined as the discovery of proteinuria on a routine examination without evidence of clinical disease. The prevalence is dependent on the age and sex of the child, as well as the circumstances under which the testing is performed. In the majority of cases, patients have transient or orthostatic proteinuria. The physician can assure the patient and parents that the prognosis is excellent. However, appropriate long-term follow-up is essential. On the other hand, persistent proteinuria represents a spectrum from a benign disorder to a disease which can progress to end-stage renal failure.
