There are two categories, including physiological and pathological proteinuria. The former is called functional proteinuria. Common cause of proteinuria are fever, strenuous exercise and upright too long, and physiological proteinuria is temporary which will slowly disappear; while the latter is induced by various of primary and secondary kidney disease and the proteinuria is persistent.
