How common is kidney failure in a 22 year old i notice occcasionally my urine is bubbly or foamy?

Why do you ask?: People with kidney failure have difficulty filtering blood to make urine. They have chronic diseases or autoimmune disorders in adolescence. Bubbly or foamy urine is a sign of its solutes causing changes in the surface tension of urine. This is usually a dietary issue.

Nephrology: Would recommend a visit with your physician for blood work and urinalysis just to be sure process such as minimal change disease is not present.

AGREE WITH : Dr. Enriquez. Acute kidney failure will trigger significant, noticeable fluid retention with major swelling of your legs, among other findings. The things you describe in the urine are very non specific.

Proteinuria: You need immediate evaluation for excessive protein in urine. This may represent an autoimmune disorder.
