protein in you urine

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care questions

You recently discovered your urine was foamy. This is sometimes seen in urine that is high in protein. This may indicate kidney problems. I recommend you have your urine checked and if needed kidneys also checked.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
