Analysis of published data and the author's own findings indicate that processes coursing in the miners of deep coal mines during hard physical work lead to hemodynamic and biochemical shifts, causing decreased production of thromboxane A2 in the kidneys and involvement of the proximal canaliculi. This, in turn, results in increased protein filtration and decrease reabsorption, which eventuates in stress proteinuria.
