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.
