If the tests were OK you will be just fine. Keep busy with a hobby, exercise, music, volunteering etc and thus avoid worry. Good luck

Bubbles in your urine do NOT mean much. If you drink a lot of water before the urine test then urine will be diluted and the dipstick test results can be misleading. To accurately detect protein in the urine regardless of the urine concentration, the ratio of protein or albumin over creatinine has to be done. However, your kidney function was good 6 months ago then you have nothing to concern.
