The kidney glomeruli act as ultrafilters for the plasma protein; however as much as 150 mg/dl of protein may normally be excreted into the urine. In glomerular proteinuria, an increase in glomerular permeability occurs, resulting in an increase of urine proteins. High urine protein concentration therefore may indicate proteinuria. Blood glucose …

…too high, normally 40ºC it will start to become denatured and therefore no longer work on its substrate as the active site has changed shape. In addition, enzymes usually work best at an optimum pH level, this is normally seven because enzymes are proteins which are damaged by very acidic or very alkaline conditions. The hypothesis is proven that when both hydrochloric acid and pepsin is combined that it effectively digests protein.
