Orthostatic proteinuria and milk ingestion
Summary
Orthostatic proteinuria in an adolescent resolved with a milk-free diet. Subsequent challenges indicated a potential dietary link, suggesting elimination diet trials for similar cases.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Pediatric Nephrology
- Clinical Nutrition
Background:
- Orthostatic proteinuria is a benign condition characterized by protein loss in the urine, often detected during upright posture.
- While typically resolving spontaneously, diagnostic challenges remain, particularly in differentiating it from other renal pathologies.
- Dietary factors are rarely considered in the management of orthostatic proteinuria.
