Chronic Kidney Disease Symptoms

3. Foamy Urine
When you pour a liquid into another liquid from a height then you will often find that some bubbles will form on the surface. Depending on the type of liquids involved, these bubbles will not usually last for long, and this is usually the case where urine and water are concerned. But not always.
Chronic kidney disease will mean that the patient will have more of a certain protein than usual in their urine, and this will be passed out of the body as usual. The presence of this protein, which is known as albumin, causes bubbles to form in the urine. There will be more than usual bubbles in the toilet bowl, and they will tend to remain for longer.
