Abstract	Background & objectives: Presence of proteinuria is considered as an early marker of an increased risk of progressive kidney disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) treatment to persons with proteinuria and chronic kidney disease has been shown to decrease the progression to endstage renal disease. As the exact prevalence of proteinuria is not known in the general population, we undertook this study to estimate the same in a rural adult population in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu. Methods: A convenient sample of 5043 adults was included. All individuals were tested for albuminuria by albumin dipstick examination in an untimed urine sample. Individuals who tested positive for albuminuria underwent a second dipstick examination after a gap of one week. Individuals with persistent albuminuria on the second dipstick examination underwent further evaluation which included medical history, physical examination, 24 h urine protein estimation, total serum protein and albumin estimation. Ultrasound of the abdomen was done in patients with renal failure and renal biopsy was performed in selected patients. Results: Of the total 5043 individuals screened, 63.1 per cent were females. Mean age of the study population was 50.94 ± 11.2 yr. First dipstick test identified 594 individuals positive for
