Apport du dosage pondéral par immunonéphélémétrie de différentes protéines urinaires pour l'interprétation des protéinuries

Detection and classification of proteinuria are frequently expected in clinical practice. Actually, these tests are realized by electrophoresis, which gives a panoramic view of urine proteins. However, this method remains semi-quantitative and its interpretation is investigator-dependant. Quantitative measurements of urine proteins have been developed but these techniques are not widely used despite their simplicity, specificity, sensitivity and rapidity. The aim of this article was to give a new approach of proteinuria interpretation by specific measurement of urine proteins followed by a software interpretation. Development of software to classify patterns of specific urinary protein markers improves the quality of follow-up care for patients and makes the interpretation easier.
