Course Overview:
Proteinuria is a common finding on urinalysis, but determining its clinical significance requires a structured diagnostic approach. This course provides an in-depth review of the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of proteinuria in dogs and cats, helping clinicians better understand when protein loss is incidental versus an indicator of underlying disease.
 
Dr. Remo Lobetti explores the pathophysiology behind proteinuria, the different etiologies involved, and the diagnostic considerations needed when unexplained protein loss is identified. The course focuses on integrating routine urine analysis findings with further diagnostics to guide clinical decision-making.
 
Through an internal medicine perspective, participants will learn how to approach proteinuria cases logically, recognize potential disease associations, and apply appropriate management strategies to improve patient care.
