What could foam in my urine be indicative of?

Dr. Raj Singh answered

Protein: Foamy urine can be normal. Sometimes high concentrations of protein in urine can make the urine frothy and requires medical evaluation to exclude serious kidney problems.

Protein in your urin: Get a urine samples to see if protein is spilling. It could be the sign of kidney disease.
