Researchers from Canada's University of Calgary believe that longevity depends on the state of the urine: the higher the fraction of protein in the urine, the worse the prognosis. The results of their research are published in the American Journal of Kidney Disease of the National Fund.
To reach this conclusion, the experts had to handle a huge amount of information. They examined the results of analyzes of more than 810 000 people aged 30 to 85 years. Experts looking for the relationship between the 'bad' urine and early mortality. This is the first study of its kind - is still such a parallel nobody spent.
Until recently it was believed that albuminuria only indicate kidney problems. However, proteinuria can occur in healthy people. Bad analyzes can be caused by strenuous exercise, stress and hypothermia.
Experts from the University of Calgary failed to prove that the best chance for a long life were those in whose urine protein was not found at all. Men who have healthy kidneys, lived an average of 15, 2 years longer than their peers with severe proteinuria. The difference in life expectancy between healthy and sick women was even stronger - it amounted to 17, 4 years.
According to the researchers, the death brings even a small concentration of protein in the urine. Those whose tests were not very bad but not very good, life expectancy was decreased by 8, 2 years for men and 10 years for women 5. (READ MORE)

Urine is considered normal if the protein concentration therein does not exceed 0, 03 g / l. Higher scores indicate impaired renal function.
