About Foamy Urine

Foamy urine is not a medical procedure but a common symptom that often prompts a consultation with an Internal Medicine specialist. It refers to the persistent presence of bubbles or foam in the urine, which can be a sign of excess protein, known as proteinuria. An Internal Medicine doctor will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, starting with a detailed medical history and physical examination. The diagnostic workup typically includes a urinalysis, a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio test, and often blood tests to assess kidney function (like serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate). This evaluation is crucial for identifying underlying conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or hypertension, which may be causing the symptom. Early diagnosis and management of the root cause are essential to prevent potential kidney damage.

PATIENT REVIEW

John Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant, noticed...

John Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant, noticed persistent foamy urine for several weeks. He had a family history of diabetes and hypertension, both of which he managed with medication. Initially dismissing it as a hydration issue, he grew concerned when the foam didn't subside and he felt increasingly fatigued. His primary care physician, noting John's controlled but longstanding conditions, recommended a urinalysis and a 24-hour urine protein test, suspecting early diabetic nephropathy. The process was straightforward but anxiety-inducing for John, who feared kidney failure. The test confirmed moderately elevated protein levels (microalbuminuria). The emotional journey was one of initial fear and denial, shifting to determined acceptance upon learning it was an early, manageable stage. With tightened blood sugar and blood pressure control, added ACE inhibitor medication, and dietary changes, his protein levels stabilized. John now feels empowered by proactive management, though he carries a lingering vigilance about his health.
