Bubbles In Urine Indicate Kidney Disease

There are a variety of causes for bubbles in urine, including vesicocolic fistula, urinary tract infection, foamy urine due to dehydration or rapid urination or proteinuria due to kidney disease.

If bubbles in urine can not disappear or it continues to become worse after drinking plenty of water and reducing protein intake, it is very possible that bubbles in urine is an indicator of kidney problem and kidney disease.

Proteinuria is one typical sign of kidney disease that is caused by abnormal protein in urine. In such case, patients can notice a lot of bubbles in urine.

Bubbles in urine means that glomerular filtration system has been impaired and hypertension and diabetes are the most common causes of this kind of kidney damages and excess protein in urine. Therefore if you have years’ high blood pressure or high blood sugar problems and you recently notice persistent bubbles in urine, you need to have a kidney function test to see if there is any kidney problems. And it is very necessary to seek early treatments to lower high blood pressure and high blood glucose level so as to prevent further deterioration of illness conditions.

Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for kidney disease patients and it can further impair the filtration membrane and cause even more proteins to be leaked into urine and in the end lead to renal failure. Therefore proper treatments should be sought as soon as possible before irreversible renal damages are caused.

Besides proper treatments for underlying chronic illness conditions, a well-planed diet is also very important for meeting the patient’s nutritional needs and at the same time reduce burdens to the kidneys so as to help protect residual kidney functions. Proteinuria patients should have low-protein, low-fat and low-salt diet which helps lower high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol and this has been proved to significantly slow down kidney disease progression and reduce the risk of heart problems.
