Foamy Urine: When to Worry and What It Could Mean

Imagine your kidneys are like tiny filters that clean your blood and make pee.

Sometimes, when you pee, it looks a little bubbly or foamy, like the top of a milkshake.

This doesn't always mean your kidneys are broken.

It could just be because you haven't had enough water, or maybe some soap got in the toilet.

But, if your pee stays foamy for a long time, or if you also notice your legs getting puffy, feeling very tired, or your pee changing color, it might mean your kidney filters have a little hole and are letting protein leak out.

That's a sign your kidneys might need help.

Doctors can check your pee and blood to see how well your kidneys are working.

Drinking lots of water, eating less salty food, and taking care of your blood pressure and sugar can help keep your kidneys happy.
