Urine protein of 50 mg/dL is an abnormal finding in many urine tests and requires further evaluation, especially because you have noticed foamy urine. However, this result alone does not confirm kidney disease.
Foamy urine can be associated with proteinuria, while foul-smelling urine may occur due to dehydration or a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Next Steps
I recommend the following investigations:
1.Urine routine and microscopy
2.Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)
3.Serum creatinine and eGFR
4.Blood pressure and blood glucose
5.Urine culture if there is burning urination, increased frequency, fever
consult for detailed evaluation

Your urine protein came back above the normal reference range for this test, while your urine sugar, blood, nitrite and white cell counts are all negative, and your blood kidney markers like creatinine and urea are normal. This looks like mild, likely transient protein leakage rather than an infection or real kidney disease right now. Foam and a smell change often go along with it.
Next Steps
A repeat urine test, ideally a first morning sample checked with a urine protein to creatinine ratio, will show if this persists or was one off from dehydration or exertion around the test. Please see a general physician or nephrologist with both reports.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if you notice swelling in your feet or face, less urine output, or high blood pressure readings.
