What is a nephon?
The nephron (from Greek νεφρός - nephros, meaning "kidney") is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.

What does small amounts of protein in urine mean?
From my experience, traces of protein in the urine can be considered normal. If you have concerns with protein in the urine, a dipstick urinalysis can be easily performed in the comforts of your own home. Test your urine each time you go to the restroom. If you have a trace of protein on 2 or more occasions in the same day, it make be worth asking your doctor about. Normal urine contains some protein, but when the protein level consistantly becomes above trace amounts, there could be an underlying kidney problem that should be addressed. Protein in urine can also be the result of excercise, emotional stress, cold or heat exposure, or fever.
How does your body regulate pH?
Your body regulates pH through various buffering systems, mainly involving the kidneys, lungs, and chemical buffers in the blood. The kidneys excrete excess acids or bases, the lungs regulate CO2 levels to maintain pH, and chemical buffers in the blood help to minimize changes in pH by binding or releasing hydrogen ions.
