Kidneys Leaking Protein...

Not sure if this is the right place but I recently went to the doc for frequent urination and found out I'm leaking protein from my Kidneys and I think it's cause all the supplements I've taken/been taking, I'm not gonna go into exactly what I took but I'm only taking natural supplements even trying to not take those and hoping my kidneys heal... I got a good back workout around when they flared up so it took me a while to notice the pain in my back wasn't my back... Anyone ever had this told to them? or heard of it being caused by taking things? It's got me worried but I'm hoping it's ok lol.

Ive had it all my life, since I was a child. Never knew it was bad if your pee foamed in the toilet, thought it was normal since it always happened. I went to the doc and told him about it and he said it could be a problem but could be normal. He did some tests and everything came back fine.

What did your doctor say after you told him about the supplements and back pain? Follow his/her advice.

What causes foamy urine?
Foamy urine is not so much a color issue as it is typically a symptom of when you've ingested more protein than your body can efficiently absorb. If you have a lot of protein in your urine, the protein reacts with the air and water, creating the foamy urine.


Sometimes you may experience foamy urine after eating a lot of fish, chicken and other meats. These meats contain muco-proteins. If your body is not breaking down these proteins efficiently, the protein is usually expelled from your body in your urine. The proteins, reacting with the air, then produce foamy urine.

Can foamy urine be dangerous?
Foamy urine shouldn't really be a problem if it's a result of too much protein. Now if you continually experience foamy urine, you may want to see a doctor as foamy urine can also be a symptom of kidney problems or a gallbladder problem. When in doubt, see the doc.

For me it has been happening long before I started this high protein diet so I got it checked out once I got insurance.

I have foamy urine, not 100% of the time but often. I closely monitor my creatinine levels, which stay within normal limits so my physician is not concerned at the moment. Protein in the urine, is never normal though and does indicate a degree of kidney damage. Protein molecules are far to large to pass through the nephrons of the renal system.
