Excretion of high levels of proteins (albumin) in the urine Low levels of the protein (albumin) in the blood, respectively When this condition develops, there is damage to the glomeruli. These glomeruli in the kidneys work to filter the blood. Whenever there is damage to the glomeruli, this damage allows proteins in the blood to leak into the urine, causing proteinuria. When the leakage of proteins from the blood increases, eventually, the blood levels of proteins become reduced, causing hypoalbuminemia. This imbalance of protein levels in the blood causes edema.
