Foamy urine usually means that you're spilling large amounts of protein in your urine. You don't mention what your kidney disease is. Causes of proteinuria include glomerulonephritis, glomerular damage seen in diabetes, longstanding hypertension,primary amyloidosis,multiple myeloma,autoimmune disorders like lupus. With massive protein loss in the urine, swelling of legs,ankles&feet usually occur

Foamy urine can be related to how much protein in urine and how much water You drink. Discuss with your team. Keep safe.
