Protein in urine would cause foam because protein reacts with air to form foam when you pass excess protein in urine.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a ALDOSTERONE DIRECT RENIN RATIO Test or Take a Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 21 year old college going girl. Last week I had a problem of swollen eyes. The doctor advised me to do blood and urine tests. As per my report, I have protein in my urine. Please guide me on this problem?

I have 1+ protein in my urine report. Is that something to be worried about? Do I need to test anything more? What medicine is best to cure this?
