Proteinuria caused by glomerular hypertension during adolescence associated with extremely premature birth: a report of two cases

Conclusions Proteinuria in both patients was caused by glomerular hypertension with hyperfiltration. Extremely preterm birth itself may be a risk factor for future CKD. Long-term follow-up of patients born prematurely and at low birth weight, including urinalysis and blood pressure measurements, is necessary to diagnose and treat late renal complications.
