there are little filters called glomeruli in the kidneys. these filter the blood, more or less, and the waste, urine, gets moved to the bladder. when these glomeruli are defective, protein is not filtered properly and it spills into the urine. other things, like urinary tract infections can cause proteinuria, but uti's are usually easily treatable. the other causes of proteinuria are often chronic and not easily treated.
Urine formation helps to maintain the balance of minerals and other substances in the body. For example, excess of calcium is normally eliminated through the urine. Urine also excretes ammonia, the build-up of which is harmful to the body. In addition, urine is the result of a mechanism that maintains the appropriate amount of water in the body.
A range of substances, including ethanol and artificial sweeteners, are also eliminated from the body through the urine.
Urine production and excretion is the body's primary method for removal of nitrogen. In human urine, this is mainly in the form of urea, a protein metabolic byproduct. Aquatic organisms such as fish, alternatively excrete ammonia. Birds and reptiles excrete uric acid, as a protein metabolic byproduct, instead of urea or ammonia. There are some exceptions to these excretion patterns.
