i had foaming urine for years. I went to the doctor and they have no clue what caused ịt. They tested my kidney and it was normal. After that, i treated myself. I tried to drink a lot of water everyday , i lose 40 lbs after 6 months, i work out 1 hour a day, i dont eat a lot of meat and i consumed a lot of vegetables...after 6 months, my urine is normal. I hope it will help u guys out
Same....I couldnt get answer from doctor...I eat a lotnof protein and Very Little water. I lessened the amountmof meat and fish....eggs ...cheese I was eating and started to drink lots of water......no more foam!
@@longlongshadows392 yup.. u did the right thing bro ..i used to be 160 lbs... faoming pee pee .. the doctor did the test and they have no clue what is going on ... i started to exercise and eat healthy ... now, i am only 130 lbs... no more FOAMING PEE PEE ...
Same here I had foamy urine 2yrs ago went for kidney function and urinalysis was fine had night protein but I stoped meat all types ate alot of vegetable workout list 23kg drank 3lit of water everyday and I dnt get to see a single bubble in my urine
yeah...if you read around some people have bubbly urine ALL the time but blood and kidney tests are always fine, no protein in urine. I actually read a research paper that showed about 2/3 of patients with bubbly urine had no health problems causing it, lol
may be urine after masturbation can look like cloudy urine as if one is diabetic, so urine getting foamy or cloudy can also be the cause of masturbation
So what's the correct way to fix chronic dehydration besides drinking more water?Sadly I put off drinking water regularly as we all should do and now all. I do is see a lot of foam bubbles.. I get scared because its always something different with me and doctors in my town are very bad smh
A year and a half ago, I ended up in ER due to kidney failure. I had noticed bubbly urine for several months, but had no pain, so ignored it. Don’t ignore it…get checked! Doctors were able to reverse my kidney failure with iv antibiotics and a ten day stay in hospital. Good luck, y’all!
No, I had not noticed anything else that would make me think of kidney disease. However, ckd is sneaky! That’s why you need to get checked. Foamy urine was the big clue! This occurred a year and a half ago and I now take Kerendia and see a nephrologist twice a year.
@@Linda-s5j9d id be able to see the doctor only in a month from now for some reasons and ive been experiencing foamy urine for couple weeks now. Thank u so much for sharing with me
@@SugarMDs what causes white sediment in urine. I had to urinate in a bottle on a road trip and noticed a bunch of white sediment in the bottom when throwing bottle away.

Mo's often then not it's 2 of these things: 1. Dehydrated. 2. Concentrated urine. Sometimes even if you drink a lot of water your urine will still probably be a little bit foamy especially if you're an active individuals.

I was an Army medic in a very remote location (DMZ Korea), because of the restrictions, we had to do a lot of our own lab tests. I encountered cases of foamy urine. The majority turned out to be hepititus, which increased the biliruben in the urine, and the liver's inability to process it.
@@frostyjim2633 Seoul is Not in the DMZ and it is a very modern wealthy country. Obviously you have never been there. Read it again and notice that he said he was in the demilitarised zone in the north, between South and North Korea.

As a type 1 diabetic for the past 30 years , I have noticed that when my sugar levels are abnormally high , every time I urinate , I get foamy bubbles , the same foamy bubbles when I'm dehydrated, also when I get drunk ... , don't generalize
Couldn’t dehydration be a result of high blood sugar and also a result of being drunk? Thus all three “different” scenarios are actually just dehydration.
Sir, am a very long time Type 1 Diabetic of late got a new data from UK saying that Non Protuniurea Chronic Kidney Disease is getting common in both Types of Diabetes. Although Mine KFT and Urine Routine are Normal, What's Ur view. Please Guide Thanks 🙂🙂😁😁
Thanks for reaching out, @VS-cs9qn. It's good that you're monitoring your kidney function regularly. Yes, it's possible to develop kidney disease without proteinuria, but it's less common. Please consult your doctor for personalized guidance! Stay healthy! 😃
The toilet bowl water can bubble too. If you have funky water or cleaning agents in the water it may foam. I foam when i pee in toilets but not when i pee in urinals or outside on the ground
One more reason for foamy urine is ketones. I switched to a ketogenic diet and noticed my urine was very foamy and got worried about kidney disease and my first blood work showed my egfr was 86 which is not very low but was still worried so I drank dandelion tea everyday and a month later my egfr was 107 and has been above 104 for the last 4 times i have had blood work done but my urine was still foamy so I asked for a urine protein test and it came back negative for protein but positive for ketones. Come to find out that foamy urine from ketones is normal on a ketogenic diet. Keep that in mind if on Keto because it's not commonly mentioned and is completely benign.
So true! My GFR increased from 82 to 90 from a year ago. How much of the dandelion tea did you drink per day? Also, I hear camomile tea and green tea lowers the A1C. Lastly, did your BUN increased due to keo?
So, on the Keto diet you are following most people are eating quite a bit of protein from meat. Over a time Keto will really cause you to become unhealthy, putting a lot of strain on your urinary system and your cardiovascular too. Yes, Keto will get one in shape and you can loose weight but long term it is damaging your body.
My Daughter passed away in March 2022. After her passing my health took a turn for the worse. I am diabetic, after she passed my blood sugar levels were out of control. A1C has been as high as 14+. I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, & my kidney function is low 36% and that is the function in both kidneys. I have had urinary tract infection, bladder and kidney infection. I take antibiotics and 3-4 days after I finish my antibiotics the infection is back. I have been hospitalized for mersa , pancreatitis, kidney stones and infections over the past year. I feel extremely tired, difficulty sleeping, nauseous after eating. I am seeing a nephrologist, urologist, and now a cardiologist. Thank you for ll your Information.
My pee has bubbles but I pee with alot of force. They go away fairly quick and flush down toilet. I read foamy urine tends to not flush down and looks more like dish soap. So foamy and bubbly look different.
I have a question ☝️😎, being a male, if there is protein in the urine, and it bubbles when you stand up to pee, will it still bubble if you sit down to pee?
Hi i have foamy urine for months now and i am getting anxious i had myself checked last year due to high uric acid levels resulting to a few gout attacks. I Did not have a gout attack now for almost a year but started to notice my urine being foamy is this still related to high uric acid ?
Thank you for the valuable information SugarMD ...., It's great to have Doctors who give great Medical advice and care for patients ....., God bless you and your Profession ....,
I used to drink alcohol a lot like every day, and I had bubbles in my urine for years like a decade, I stopped drinking cold turkey about ten years ago and have not seen these bubbles in over seven years
I went the the doctor found bubbles told me have portine . Gave me some pill but I didn't take them . Because they have they have side effects and now I Drink alot of and cranberry everyday one awhile I see little bubbles
Thank you Doctor, for such an informative video presentation. Yes, I have realised I have had foamy urine, but it’s so normal for me to have protein in my urine, as I have auto-immune. I have been told by my Doctor this is normal. I also have swollen ankles too. Nevertheless, I think it may be time for an updated blood test. Thankyou for educating us all.
I don't, but wondering why YT directed me to this video. They must know my dad! Who could create a layer back in the days when thrifty people only flushed #2. Dad would wake up, leave a layer, leave for work, and when I woke up to go to the bathroom, the bubbles were still all there. He still does it when I visit - he's 75, and the first I remember this was at least 35 years ago, probably more. He doesn't drink or smoke and has never had issues with labs.
@@dingdong2103 I replaced 2 cups of coffee a day with 2 bottleof water....feeling more energegetic with less meat and proteins on a daily basis....foam is just about gone
The morning wee is always a foamy one, I’ve had every check possible due to symptoms for something else, my symptoms were very real! But tests showed everything was fine. So I’m happy to have a foamy urine in the morning.
My urine has been foamy for more than a year now and started about the same time I switched over to eating the Keto diet. I have no other symptoms besides the foamy urine.
How about being a non- diabetic and non hypertensive person with normal blood tests and gfr? I've had protein in my urine that has been found but when i get tested again there was no more protein. But the thing is my foamy urine didn't go away. I 've had it for a year now. It is intermittent sometimes not foamy when i drink too much water. Should i still be worried?

Me too,20 years ago,I had foamy urine and was concerned and have had it ever since. As a matter of fact, I believe I've had it all my life,and I'm fine...70 yrs old now!!!
As a 37 or 38 year Type II diabetic, foamy urine usually means protein or albumin is coming from your kidneys-not a good thing long-term! Also if you notice the ODOR of something you ATE today in your urine-that's NOT GOOD AT ALL! I'm 70 and have Stage 3 to 4 renal failure. If I move to full Stage 4, I'll probably need dialysis once a week, my Doc says, to protect my old kidneys and my EYES! Stage 5 puts you on the transplant list. Diabetics, HYDRATE yourself to where you have to pee every hour, keep that urine straw colored. I got food poisoning from a fast-food in March and spent 8 days in ICU because my urine looked like leaded gasoline and smelled like it and BURNED worse! My liver was mad at me for not eating or drinking for 4 days, and I had lost all the flora and fauna in my gut. BTW, Stage 6 means your feet are in your coffin...you can't live 6 months on daily dialysis, and you no longer are a candidate for a new kidney.
Years ago I started having super foamy pee, like it would fill the toilet with foam, it was so weird. I was jobless and broke so seeing a doctor wasn't an option so I turned to the internet and learned protein makes the foam and of course panicked about it being kidney related. Then it dawned on me...I'd been living off nothing but ramen and eggs for the past month. This was like 15 years ago when eggs were super cheap. I was eating like a dozen eggs a day to feel full and basically just loading my body up with protein and was peeing it out. Changed my diet up and it immediately went away, but for a month I was turning my toilet into a foam pit. So it can be something as dumb as that. Luckily now I've been employed full time with full benefits for awhile but that was one rough month. I also lost like 30lbs because I couldn't afford beer.
Hello doc. Can you do video about JARDIANCE medicine ? How that works and side effects and effectiveness . Also compare and contras with metformin. Please educate us about this medicine. Thanks will appreciate it .
I just got off jardiance, because I was not drinking enough water, it will dehydrate you, but it did keep my AIC down, but it caused my mouth to dry out really bad, making my lips cracked and severerly dried out, burning with pain, also making my kidneys sore, being diabetic already lends itself to causing kidney problems,so I've got off the jardiance 4 weeks ago, and my lips healed up, and my kidneys are not sore anymore, I'm back on the metformin, those are 2 of the side effects that they warn about with this medicine, you must drink plenty of water to keep hydrated with jardiance, my Dr. Told me that ,but I just wasn't doing it, my own fault, but my main concern was the problems it could give me with my kidneys, so I was actually glad to get off of it, hope this helps you, good luck and good health too you!
@@roadrunner381 but how is your sugar? Like did you have lows and high? Because i am on metformin currently . But my blood sugar keeps up and down and insulin is high then i get palpitation high heart rate and anxiety thats why my doc now put me on the jardiance and CGM sensor . How many pill u used to take and what time? Please let me know thanks .
@@shifatjahan4309 sorry for the delay,, I took one pill a day in the morning, that was it,my sugar was consistent, no high and low numbers, but I watch what I eat very closely, barely any sugar, and my carb intake, plus I exercise 5 days a week, getting my heart rate up as recommended, this helps the medicine also, your condition sounds a little more complicated than mine, your Dr. Is probably doing the right meds for you ,but the fact that you are seeking information about your condition is good because there's things that doctors can overlook or just not updated on. good health too you!🙏
I’ve been eating a lot of cheese and protein lately and started noticing foam in my urine . I’ve never seen this before and wonder if it could be the result of over exercising or my heavy protein or the cheese?
I have just finished my 6 month Tuberculosis medications last November..in which i was taking 3- nine Hundred mg. capsules a day along the process...just lately i have noticed my pee to be bubbly.. does it have to do with my previous intakes of large amount of drugs for the past six months?
I have a diabetic care PA that I'm supposed to see every three month but if you call to reschedule in cases of an emergency you might not see her for 6 months. I had surgery and had to postpone my appointment...so it will be 9 months between visits. She's wonderful but extremely hard to get into. There are no other options. That's the reality where I live and I am in America btw.
I always understood that it was excess protein being excreted. Your body lets go of any protein intake just like any water-soluble substance. Protein is pretty much use it or lose it. Of course, if it happens often, you probably have other problems.
I thought your kidneys were supposed to filter the protein to the blood, not the bladder. There's holes in the kidney filters if proteins getting to the urine...right? 5:40

That foaming in most cases isn't bad, drink enough clean water (filtered if you can) and drop the sugar and most processed stuff, example eat in between 7 pm and 6 am to get your system in cleaning mode longer, then you will be fine. Ofc check for insulin levels are not to high which is crucial in kidney healh. Be hydrated
I had all these symptoms and my primary doctor referred me to a kidney doctor. Had a kidney biopsy and found out I have kidney disease. C3 Glomerulonephritis. They say it’s kind of rare and don’t know what to do for me.
Do you know what your Creatinine and GFR (Glomerul Filtration Rate) is from recent bloodwork? I’m sorry you’re going through this.

my bladder and kidneys are normal. i had foamy or bubble in my urine. they also find out small blood in my urine. via microscopic but like i said my kidneys and bladder were checked and its normal, no cancer or kidney stone found. i dont know why foamy in my urine?
Im drinking on an average of about 60 ounces of liquids per day and was having some light yellow color in my urine, always getting urine checked with doctors , they say I am good. I havent changed my liquid amount, for a long time, now every time I urinate its is always clear color urine....Im sure I will bring this up at the doctors office...Im suppose to drink 100 ounces per day because I am 6'0...am I ok to drink 60 ounces per day and still be ok...
I was scared to watch this video because I started seeing the foamy urine a few months ago. I have been doing everything I could think of with research I've done but so far I found 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in an 8-10 ounce glass of water, with 5 teaspoons lemon juice could help. 2 garlic cloves chopped up and waiting 8-10 minutes for the allicin to kick in and give it 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to help the taste so it doesn't burn as you eat it. Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil from a dark bottle. All before breakfast is supposed to help with all the anti-oxidents and anti-inflametory with a high fiber diet can help slow down the progression of CKD. Since it hasn't gone away completley but disapeared through out the day and comes back next morning, I plan to see a nephrologist soon. I have hopes for a medicine just approved by the FDA that can reduce protieneuria by 40% called Kerendia with Forxiga. I'm also trying this new smoothie of half a green apple, 1 stalk of celery, half cup of parsley, and a lemon to also lower the protein and flush out the creatinine.
Just watched a video of his saying foxiga, jardiance, and invokana medicine can cause acute kidney damage, I got of the jardiance, it made my mouth dry out and my kidneys sore I too take Acv, lemon juice, and sugar free cranberry juice, for a kidney flush, I'll use what your other recipes are, thx for sharing those!
Dr. Sean Hashmi has a great video on the connection of Vitamin K2 - MK7 and the many benefits of this supplement and kidney disease. There is quite a few data and research out there to support Vitamin K2 Mk7 is very promising for kidney regeneration and overall health.
@@knightrcer Organ meats, cheeses, butter, yolks of eggs, sauerkraut, salmon all contain Vitamin K2. But if you're concerned about the foamy urine, I have personally found that taking a K2 - MK7 supplement really made a marked difference for myself.
@user-hg3rb3wk5x, it's hard to evaluate your condition exactly in this format. Please consult your local healthcare provider to thoroughly review your lab results and symptoms.
Doctors all go by the book. Never suggest alternative cures or prevention. Most GPs are only concerned about their profit margins instead of care of a living human health.
Thank you for this useful information. I follow a modest considered diet in my late 70s, with little salt and an awareness of sugar reduction that limits my intake of confectionary, with a small exception such as a few daily Brazil nuts covered with dark (plain) chocolate and a think slice of fruit cake, I am getting bi=annual checks with my health care nurse to maintain overall general health supevision. This said, I note the presence of bubbly urine directly after rising but also wonder if this can be connected with my frequent use of a strong detergent cleanser in the toilet bowl. I will be improving my intake of fluids and reducing the use of toilet cleanser to see if there is any change - thanks. .

Liver issues can cause foamy pee.. If youre an alcoholic or something. Thats how mine started... i stopped drinking now for 5 months. And most all my symptoms of liver disease went away but not the foamy pee
With a history of kidney stones - having them over 20 times - I am under the care of both a Urologist and a Nephrologist. I get bubbly urine in the bowl most times when I go to the bathroom. What puzzles me is that my eGFR is 65 yet only once in the last 6 urine tests did it report a "trace" of protein in the urine. All the other five times showed negative for protein. So, on the one hand, the eGFR indicates problems, yet on the other hand protein in the urine is negative (except for one time when a "trace" was indicated).
Some bubbles are not foam. Eating a lot of protein at one time and not enough water to process it can cause bubbly urine. Metabolizing protein take a LOT of water. A LOT. Another issue is toilet tank cleaners leaving a bit of soap in the water.
But some have said not to drink water with your meals because it would dilute your digestive acids.....??? What's more important, the acids or the water?...

I started having very bubbly urine like a year ago. A few things to note are that i always have a strong stream, i never drink enough water and am dehydrated alot and my urine is concentrated. When i drink alot of water i get bubbles but they aren't really foamy and they go away within 60 seconds or so id say. But my first pee of the day when dehydrated has lots of bubbles and they stick around for 10 minutes or so. I just had blood work and my creatinine, albumin and total protein levels were normal. But that was in my blood that's not the same as what might be making it through my kidneys right? I'm kinda worried.
For me, it was Sugar (Metformin increases this too for us diabetics). Despite being diabetic, it's hard not to cheat whether chocolate or carbs, etc. I noticed when I went on a Carnivore/Keto diet, the foamy urine went completely away. Anytime I would have a bunch of carbs/sugar say on a holiday or a cheat day(s) or snuck a 20oz Coke or two, it returns for a few days until I fast back into keto.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear that you’ve found success in managing foamy urine through dietary changes, especially with keto and carnivore diets. Your experience highlights the potential connection between sugar intake and this symptom, which is valuable for others considering similar adjustments.

I was an Army medic in a very remote location (DMZ Korea), because of the restrictions, we had to do a lot of our own lab tests. I encountered cases of foamy urine. The majority turned out to be hepititus, which increased the biliruben in the urine, and the liver's inability to process it.
Yeah, Seoul is pretty backward remote place
@@frostyjim2633 Seoul is Not in the DMZ and it is a very modern wealthy country. Obviously you have never been there. Read it again and notice that he said he was in the demilitarised zone in the north, between South and North Korea.

@@JohnnyWrongo-b9l Not bad....I would have to investigate further myself. DD 214 etc. Wouldn't be the first time someone tried faking that they had to and or volunteered for real service.
@@JohnnyWrongo-b9l And getting back to the urine....lol. Maybe he is right about that. A lot of people chatter on.....very few can actually inform. 🤔
Basically foamy urine is from a lack of water 💧 and being dehydrated. This is a good thing to know.
Agreed, and caffeine contributes to this and stress
Yes, it clears up whenever I have an abundance of water I’ve consumed.
Mine is foamy when I have a lack of water or whenever I eat foods high in sodium. When I drink plenty of water little to no foam.
I tried drinking more water and yes the foam are lesser. In fact past few days I havent been drinking much water.
@@NookTommy is it still foamy
As a type 1 diabetic for the past 30 years , I have noticed that when my sugar levels are abnormally high , every time I urinate , I get foamy bubbles , the same foamy bubbles when I'm dehydrated, also when I get drunk ... , don't generalize
How r u now?
Couldn’t dehydration be a result of high blood sugar and also a result of being drunk? Thus all three “different” scenarios are actually just dehydration.
As usual...SPOT ON!...Excellent information without unnecessary jibber-jabber. Thank you from Texas.
Your explanation cleared my suspicion and feel relieved.
Sir, am a very long time Type 1 Diabetic of late got a new data from UK saying that Non Protuniurea Chronic Kidney Disease is getting common in both Types of Diabetes. Although Mine KFT and Urine Routine are Normal, What's Ur view. Please Guide Thanks 🙂🙂😁😁
Thanks for reaching out, @VS-cs9qn. It's good that you're monitoring your kidney function regularly. Yes, it's possible to develop kidney disease without proteinuria, but it's less common. Please consult your doctor for personalized guidance! Stay healthy! 😃
The toilet bowl water can bubble too. If you have funky water or cleaning agents in the water it may foam. I foam when i pee in toilets but not when i pee in urinals or outside on the ground
Mine don’t
That's correct,even chlorine
Certain toilet bowl cleaners can do this.
Going schedule an appt with my doctor and see what’s up comments calmed me down a little ty all for the info and experiences
I have had foamy urine most of my life and my kidneys are fine
You are a young doctor and need more experience
How old are you
Me too 😂
I'm 32 and had foamy urine my whole life as well
@@MohamedSalah-km1xt I’m 59, was an Athlete from 13. Ran 800m and 1500m until I was around 30 years old, now I’m a Fell runner (mountain marathons) 😬

A very good presentation on this subject, thank you very much.
@carlbarron1186 I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you for your support!
Thanks Dr. Ergin....This was a very informative video! I always wondered why there is foam every once in a while.
One more reason for foamy urine is ketones. I switched to a ketogenic diet and noticed my urine was very foamy and got worried about kidney disease and my first blood work showed my egfr was 86 which is not very low but was still worried so I drank dandelion tea everyday and a month later my egfr was 107 and has been above 104 for the last 4 times i have had blood work done but my urine was still foamy so I asked for a urine protein test and it came back negative for protein but positive for ketones. Come to find out that foamy urine from ketones is normal on a ketogenic diet. Keep that in mind if on Keto because it's not commonly mentioned and is completely benign.
So true! My GFR increased from 82 to 90 from a year ago. How much of the dandelion tea did you drink per day? Also, I hear camomile tea and green tea lowers the A1C. Lastly, did your BUN increased due to keo?
So, on the Keto diet you are following most people are eating quite a bit of protein from meat. Over a time Keto will really cause you to become unhealthy, putting a lot of strain on your urinary system and your cardiovascular too. Yes, Keto will get one in shape and you can loose weight but long term it is damaging your body.
Thank you I'm looking all over the place for why my pee has foam, I'm ketosis tho.
@kaweka260 hi brother how to increase egfr that is mean you dink dandelion tea the drink with improve the percentage please replay to me
@@MohamedSalah-km1xt I cut out all sugar and ate very low carb(less than 30grams a day) as well as drank 2 cups of dandelion tea per day.
My Daughter passed away in March 2022. After her passing my health took a turn for the worse. I am diabetic, after she passed my blood sugar levels were out of control. A1C has been as high as 14+. I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure, & my kidney function is low 36% and that is the function in both kidneys. I have had urinary tract infection, bladder and kidney infection. I take antibiotics and 3-4 days after I finish my antibiotics the infection is back. I have been hospitalized for mersa , pancreatitis, kidney stones and infections over the past year.

I had kidney failure this year and have bubbles in my urine.
I was worried asked a few co-workers about this. Every one of them said they always do.
A little bubbly? Or FOAMY...
My pee has bubbles but I pee with alot of force. They go away fairly quick and flush down toilet. I read foamy urine tends to not flush down and looks more like dish soap. So foamy and bubbly look different.
only at morning this happens to me but not other time
I have a question ☝️😎, being a male, if there is protein in the urine, and it bubbles when you stand up to pee, will it still bubble if you sit down to pee?
As a male, I sit down to pee, it won’t show bubble.
Hi i have foamy urine for months now and i am getting anxious i had myself checked last year due to high uric acid levels resulting to a few gout attacks. I Did not have a gout attack now for almost a year but started to notice my urine being foamy is this still related to high uric acid ?
Did you find anything out ? I also have had gout in the past now noticing foamy urine.
Thank you for the valuable information SugarMD ...., It's great to have Doctors who give great Medical advice and care for patients ....., God bless you and your Profession ....,
I have foamy urine for 10 years - like serious foam all day. I’m still alive and kicking . No protein in urine
I used to drink alcohol a lot like every day, and I had bubbles in my urine for years like a decade, I stopped drinking cold turkey about ten years ago and have not seen these bubbles in over seven years
Your urine was carbonated from the alcohol
Especially from beer.
Thanks you very much for the information really appreciate it was informative.
I went the the doctor found bubbles told me have portine . Gave me some pill but I didn't take them . Because they have they have side effects and now I Drink alot of and cranberry everyday one awhile I see little bubbles
Thank you for sharing your knowledge I'm sure this video has helped so many people with understanding this problem.
Thank you Doctor, for such an informative video presentation. Yes, I have realised I have had foamy urine, but it’s so normal for me to have protein in my urine, as I have auto-immune. I have been told by my Doctor this is normal. I also have swollen ankles too. Nevertheless, I think it may be time for an updated blood test. Thankyou for educating us all.
Update on the blood test? And is your skin itchy?
What do you mean by auto-immune?
is your autoimmune condition igA Nephropathy?

And sometimes it’s just normal. I’ve had foamy urine all my life.
I don't, but wondering why YT directed me to this video. They must know my dad! Who could create a layer back in the days when thrifty people only flushed #2. Dad would wake up, leave a layer, leave for work, and when I woke up to go to the bathroom, the bubbles were still all there.
He still does it when I visit - he's 75, and the first I remember this was at least 35 years ago, probably more.
He doesn't drink or smoke and has never had issues with labs.

How about being a non- diabetic and non hypertensive person with normal blood tests and gfr? I've had protein in my urine that has been found but when i get tested again there was no more protein. But the thing is my foamy urine didn't go away. I 've had it for a year now. It is intermittent sometimes not foamy when i drink too much water. Should i still be worried?
Same here! I always had foamy urine. Last week dr. Took a sample and the test was negative for protein in the urine. I don’t know.

As a 37 or 38 year Type II diabetic, foamy urine usually means protein or albumin is coming from your kidneys-not a good thing long-term! Also if you notice the ODOR of something you ATE today in your urine-that's NOT GOOD AT ALL! I'm 70 and have Stage 3 to 4 renal failure. If I move to full Stage 4, I'll probably need dialysis once a week, my Doc says, to protect my old kidneys and my EYES! Stage 5 puts you on the transplant list. Diabetics, HYDRATE yourself to where you have to pee every hour, keep that urine straw colored. I got food poisoning from a fast-food in March and spent 8 days in ICU because my urine looked like leaded gasoline and smelled like it and BURNED worse! My liver was mad at me for not eating or drinking for 4 days, and I had lost all the flora and fauna in my gut. BTW, Stage 6 means your feet are in your coffin...you can't live 6 months on daily dialysis, and you no longer are a candidate for a new kidney.
Good info
Shouldn't "need" someone else's kidney or body part in general. Ridiculous.
Years ago I started having super foamy pee, like it would fill the toilet with foam, it was so weird. I was jobless and broke so seeing a doctor wasn't an option so I turned to the internet and learned protein makes the foam and of course panicked about it being kidney related. Then it dawned on me...I'd been living off nothing but ramen and eggs for the past month. This was like 15 years ago when eggs were super cheap. I was eating like a dozen eggs a day to feel full and basically just loading my body up with protein and was peeing it out. Changed my diet up and it immediately went away, but for a month I was turning my toilet into a foam pit. So it can be something as dumb as that. Luckily now I've been employed full time with full benefits for awhile but that was one rough month. I also lost like 30lbs because I couldn't afford beer.
thank you for this.
Good tale

Hello doc. Can you do video about JARDIANCE medicine ? How that works and side effects and effectiveness . Also compare and contras with metformin. Please educate us about this medicine. Thanks will appreciate it .
I just got off jardiance, because I was not drinking enough water, it will dehydrate you, but it did keep my AIC down, but it caused my mouth to dry out really bad, making my lips cracked and severerly dried out, burning with pain, also making my kidneys sore, being diabetic already lends itself to causing kidney problems,so I've got off the jardiance 4 weeks ago, and my lips healed up, and my kidneys are not sore anymore, I'm back on the metformin, those are 2 of the side effects that they warn about with this medicine, you must drink plenty of water to keep hydrated with jardiance, my Dr. Told me that ,but I just wasn't doing it, my own fault, but my main concern was the problems it could give me with my kidneys, so I was actually glad to get off of it, hope this helps you, good luck and good health too you!
@@roadrunner381 but how is your sugar? Like did you have lows and high? Because i am on metformin currently .

How many pill u used to take and what time? Please let me know thanks .
@@shifatjahan4309 sorry for the delay,, I took one pill a day in the morning, that was it,my sugar was consistent, no high and low numbers, but I watch what I eat very closely, barely any sugar, and my carb intake, plus I exercise 5 days a week, getting my heart rate up as recommended, this helps the medicine also, your condition sounds a little more complicated than mine, your Dr. Is probably doing the right meds for you ,but the fact that you are seeking information about your condition is good because there's things that doctors can overlook or just not updated on. good health too you!🙏
Thank you Doc. Now I know what questions to ask. 🙏💓
I’ve been eating a lot of cheese and protein lately and started noticing foam in my urine . I’ve never seen this before and wonder if it could be the result of over exercising or my heavy protein or the cheese?
What if your urine sometimes looks oily.
I have just finished my 6 month Tuberculosis medications last November..in which i was taking 3- nine Hundred mg. capsules a day along the process...just lately i have noticed my pee to be bubbly.. does it have to do with my previous intakes of large amount of drugs for the past six months?
I have a diabetic care PA that I'm supposed to see every three month but if you call to reschedule in cases of an emergency you might not see her for 6 months. I had surgery and had to postpone my appointment...so it will be 9 months between visits. She's wonderful but extremely hard to get into. There are no other options. That's the reality where I live and I am in America btw.
I wonder if illegals have to wait so long?
I always understood that it was excess protein being excreted.
Your body lets go of any protein intake just like any water-soluble substance. Protein is pretty much use it or lose it.
Of course, if it happens often, you probably have other problems.
Definitely had too much protein
I thought your kidneys were supposed to filter the protein to the blood, not the bladder. There's holes in the kidney filters if proteins getting to the urine...right? 5:40

That foaming in most cases isn't bad, drink enough clean water (filtered if you can) and drop the sugar and most processed stuff, example eat in between 7 pm and 6 am to get your system in cleaning mode longer, then you will be fine.

I was scared to watch this video because I started seeing the foamy urine a few months ago. I have been doing everything I could think of with research I've done but so far I found 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in an 8-10 ounce glass of water, with 5 teaspoons lemon juice could help. 2 garlic cloves chopped up and waiting 8-10 minutes for the allicin to kick in and give it 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to help the taste so it doesn't burn as you eat it. Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil from a dark bottle. All before breakfast is supposed to help with all the anti-oxidents and anti-inflametory with a high fiber diet can help slow down the progression of CKD. Since it hasn't gone away completley but disapeared through out the day and comes back next morning, I plan to see a nephrologist soon. I have hopes for a medicine just approved by the FDA that can reduce protieneuria by 40% called Kerendia with Forxiga. I'm also trying this new smoothie of half a green apple, 1 stalk of celery, half cup of parsley, and a lemon to also lower the protein and flush out the creatinine.
Just watched a video of his saying foxiga, jardiance, and invokana medicine can cause acute kidney damage, I got of the jardiance, it made my mouth dry out and my kidneys sore I too take Acv, lemon juice, and sugar free cranberry juice, for a kidney flush, I'll use what your other recipes are, thx for sharing those!

connected with my frequent use of a strong detergent cleanser in the toilet bowl. I will be improving

Liver issues can cause foamy pee.. If youre an alcoholic or something. Thats how mine started... i stopped drinking now for 5 months. And most all my symptoms of liver disease went away but not the foamy pee
How are U now? I drink alot and have had foamy urine. Hoping stopping the alcohol helps.
With a history of kidney stones - having them over 20 times - I am under the care of both a Urologist and a Nephrologist. I get bubbly urine in the bowl most times when I go to the bathroom. What puzzles me is that my eGFR is 65 yet only once in the last 6 urine tests did it report a "trace" of protein in the urine. All the other five times showed negative for protein. So, on the one hand, the eGFR indicates problems, yet on the other hand protein in the urine is negative (except for one time when a "trace" was indicated).
Did it get well.?
@@true.care. Still negative for protein.
Some bubbles are not foam.
Eating a lot of protein at one time and not enough water to process it can cause bubbly urine. Metabolizing protein take a LOT of water. A LOT.
Another issue is toilet tank cleaners leaving a bit of soap in the water.
But some have said not to drink water with your meals because it would dilute your digestive acids.....??? What's more important, the acids or the water?...

I started having very bubbly urine like a year ago. A few things to note are that i always have a strong stream, i never drink enough water and am dehydrated alot and my urine is concentrated. When i drink alot of water i get bubbles but they aren't really foamy and they go away within 60 seconds or so id say. But my first pee of the day when dehydrated has lots of bubbles and they stick around for 10 minutes or so. I just had blood work and my creatinine, albumin and total protein levels were normal.

They test your urine for kidney function.
For me, it was Sugar (Metformin increases this too for us diabetics). Despite being diabetic, it's hard not to cheat whether chocolate or carbs, etc. I noticed when I went on a Carnivore/Keto diet, the foamy urine went completely away. Anytime I would have a bunch of carbs/sugar say on a holiday or a cheat day(s) or snuck a 20oz Coke or two, it returns for a few days until I fast back into keto.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear that you’ve found success in managing foamy urine through dietary changes, especially with keto and carnivore diets.

@@taufikjokosusilo5056 I am big into the gym. I have stopped taking protein powder and creatine and don't bulk anymore. I now maintain the same weight by doing a 16:8 IF split which affords me 3 meals a day with zero snacks in between or at night.
should i be worried about Foamy Urine? it's actually started happening to me this week and i just don't understand what's going on! i'm having a blood and urine tests tomorrow.
How was the tests?
Im Diabetic Type 2 controlled already in the past 2 years. My A1C is around the 5's and my FBS is also normal below 90. My only problem now is my albumin to creatinine ratio which is kinda high though my creatinine is normal.
isnt that a marker of ckd? continous raise of ACR in 3 months mean ckd?
@@starky17 cant really tell for now if its continous as its the first time he check my ACR. He just told me to drink lots of water and come back after 6 months and check again. If its elevated then it might be of concern.
