6-Month Foamy Urine

I am 35 years old, 52 kg, height 5'1". I have foamy urine for 6 months (thick, doesn't clear for ~2 min). July 2025 labs: eGFR 95, creatinine 0.9. BP 127/84 (1 month ago). Home dipstick negative for protein. No pitting edema or face swelling, but legs feel heavy/smooth, with leg pain and itching. Also increased thirst despite drinking water. History: PUJ obstruction, pyloplasty 15 years ago, no pain since. Iam attaching foam urine water taken at 12 am and urinated 7:42 and 7:44 am time stamps. Questions: 1) Could my foamy urine, leg heaviness, itching, mean kidney failure in my case? 2) Is my past PUJ surgery relevant to current symptoms? 3) I am fearing to go to the test if kidney failure is reversible for me

Bubbly Urine

I'm diabetic since 7 years & hypertensive since 3 years.Both of them are under well control.Recently noticing bubbly urine which often lessens or disappears by drinking more water.Test reports of urine acr,serum creatinine,blood urea & potassium done 6 months ago came absolutely fine & normal.Test report of USG (kub) done 1 year ago also came fine & normal.Also,no swelling in any part of the body. Experienced the same condition a year ago but the test reports of urine acr,24 hrs urinary protein,serum creatinine,blood urea & potassium done at that time came absolutely normal & a nephrologist confirmed that this is not due to proteinuria.Still taking telmisartan 40 mg for bp since many months.Also have stage 2 NAFLD.What might be the reason of such bubbly urine ?

Chronic Euvolemic Hyponatremia – Need Se

I am a 47-year-old male with chronic euvolemic hypotonic hyponatremia. One year ago, my sodium dropped to 115 mEq/L while taking Tazloc H (hydrochlorothiazide). It was stopped immediately, but my sodium has remained around 129–130 mEq/L. Latest reports: Sodium 130.1, serum osmolality 259 (low), urine osmolality 118, urine sodium 42, creatinine 0.9 (normal), thyroid normal, 8 AM cortisol 10 (normal range). Symptoms include headaches, brain fog, confusion, and fatigue. My nephrologist suspects Nexito Plus (escitalopram + clonazepam) may be contributing and prescribed fluid restriction and tolvaptan. Does this pattern suggest SIADH? Could Nexito Plus be the cause? Should it be replaced, and are any additional tests recommended? Please help.

Foamy Urine & Fear of Kidney Failure

Male, 34 years. I had left PUJ obstruction and underwent Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty in 2011. Since the surgery, whenever I drink water, I usually pass urine within 20–30 minutes. This pattern has remained the same for the last 14 years. My kidney tests in June 2025 were normal (creatinine 0.8 mg/dL, eGFR around 103). I have checked my urine several times with a dipstick, and it has always been negative for protein and glucose. I have no burning while urinating, no blood in urine, no flank pain, no fever, and no history of kidney stones. My blood pressure is 128/85 mmHg. However, for the past 5 months, I have noticed persistent foamy urine, which has made me very anxious about kidney failure. If I do not drink water after urinating, my urine becomes dark yellow quickly. I also have mild swelling on the top of both feet, especially in the evening I am attaching photo.I also have occasional itching that improves with Bilasure. I am fearing about ckd failure please help me.
