I wondered if you ever got your frothy urine results back and, if so, whether you reached any conclusions.
My current thinking of frothy urine (for my specific case) is that I have two types :
1. Very foamy (tiny bubbles): this I think relates to microalbumin - more physical than diabetic
2. Very frothy (huge bubbles) : this I think relates to PO4 spilling from my leaky kidney tx (frothiness gets worse as serum PO4 gets lower)
PO4 leakage isn't great when added to bone buffering (to deal with the rt acidosis) as its making me fairly hypophosphatemic (po4 <0.5 these days and falling).. so I'm hoping Father Christmas won't be bringing me rickets this year. At least I'm off pred at last!
Anyway .. it would be great to hear what you discovered ..

Hello Keith,
All my results from the urine test were in normal ranges, except for microalbuminuria. There was just a little of albumin in the urine that makes it frothy.
Now, doing exercise, having high blood pressure, and a few more things can cause albumin to come out in urine, and the worst is kidney damage from diabetes. Now I am sure of my health in terms of disease states like diabetes. I am prone to have high blood pressure, but it is well under control, just by keeping slim, with 11.0% body fat.
So, there should be no cause to worry unless the albumin level rises, and also unless someone begins to loose weight quickly.
Merry Greetings for this season, to you and all the family.
