Foam in urine can sometimes indicate high protein levels, which might suggest kidney issues.
Foamy urine can be a sign that there is too much protein in the urine, a condition known as proteinuria. This can happen when the kidneys are not working well. Healthy kidneys usually keep most protein in the blood, but if the kidneys are damaged, protein can leak into the urine, causing it to foam.
Understanding the significance of foamy urine is important because it can be an early sign of kidney issues that might need medical attention.
