A member asked:
After urination, do bubbles caused by protein take longer to disappear in water than bubbles not caused by protein?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bubbles: You should not have any bubbles per se in the urine. Negligible amounts of protein may cause urine to bubble after it mixed with water in the toilet, but otherwise, you would not have any bubbles in the urine as there should be no air eliminating with urine normally.

Yes!: Bubbles in the urine from protein can indicate kidney disease and will break down slower than those caused by normal circumstances. Normal examples are bubbles caused by dehydration, pregnancy, or just rapid urination.
