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 - SERUM Test

I am concerned about my urine test report. It shows the presence of 2+ protein, blood cells, and pus cells, while my creatinine and urea levels are normal. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please help me understand what this indicates and whether I should be worried?
