The relationship between proteinuria and progression of renal disease has long been an
issue of debate. The present review deals with some of the recent publications on this topic.
New concepts are emphasized: the possible causal role of proteinuria in the
pathophysiology of progressive renal function loss, and the decrease in urinary protein loss
at the beginning of renoprotective therapy as a predictor of renal function outcome during
this treatment.
