Each normal kidney has around one million functional units known as nephrons. Each nephron has a filtering unit called a glomerulus, which filters the blood and produces a filtrate. Tubules are tube-like portions of the nephron that absorb and emit urinary components from the filtrate, resulting in urine that is expelled. Proteinuria, or the presence of protein in the urine, is a crucial indicator of renal disease.
