diabetic foam urine

Diabetic patients show frothy urine, which may be diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy initially has elevated levels of albumin in the urine, which may appear to be frothy in the urine. However, diabetic patients showing frothy urine do not always mean diabetic nephropathy, such as bladder disease cystitis, or some other urinary tract infection, when the composition of the urine changes and foam is produced. There are also some liver diseases, bilirubin or protein in urine increased, can also show foam. In general, urine contains some organic substances and inorganic substances can also show foam urine. Therefore, foam urine is not necessarily sick. But it is recommended that diabetic patients if they show foam urine, go to the hospital to check out diabetic nephropathy, or other diseases.
