Recently researches have find out the new studies about the affect of high protein on kidney functionality. The new study explains that high protein level in urine may lead kidney to failure.

These findings are reported in the recent issue of the “Journal of the American Medical Association”. According to these reports that researchers have given the guideline that test to measure, the level of protein in urine (serum creatinine) can give the estimate that how in good health the kidneys are working

According to on going guidelines and studies, a blood test that measures a waist product named serum creatinine to give the estimate that how well the kidneys are working.

This was added by study author Dr. Brenda R. Hemmelgarn who is an Associate Professor of Medicine at University of Calgary in Albert, Canada. “We found that including another marker of kidney health, the level of protein in the urine, helps to better predict risk than that single measure”

“Right now, the guidelines say you should use a blood test called serum creatinine [which measures a waste product processed by the kidneys] to give you an estimate of how well the kidneys are working,” said study author Dr. Brenda R. Hemmelgarn, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. “We found that including another marker of kidney health - the level of protein in the urine - helps to better predict risk than that single measure.”

“I think it is very likely to get adopted in the new guidelines,” she added. This is strong possibility that this research will ensure the estimation of kidney health better.

“This is one of the most important data sets that were presented at a recent conference of experts to look at issues of chronic kidney disease classification and prognosis,” said Kerry Willis.

This is important to know that international guidelines are formulated by Kerry Wills who is senior vice president of scientific activities at the National Kidney foundation.

“We do think it is an extremely important observation, and have set about starting to revise our guidelines. This is not a randomized, prospective trial, but for as observational data set this is about as compelling as it gets.”

The new guiding principles should be prepared for public review in middle of 2011.
