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

Will drinking water reduce protein in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I already tested uric acid and serum creatinine. My report was normal. What is the reason for sometimes having foamy or bubbly urine and sometimes pain in the left upper back and right side? Is it serious?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know about the lab report of my father. Is there any problem in the urinary tract? What does it mean when protein levels are high?
