vessels and filtering structures inside the kidneys.
This can lead to protein leaking into the urine.
For this reason, persistent foamy urine can sometimes be associated with diabetic kidney disease.
People with diabetes should follow their healthcare provider’s recommendations for monitoring blood sugar, blood pressure, and kidney function.
Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, can also cause changes in urine.
Foamy urine accompanied by symptoms such as:
- Burning during urination
- An unpleasant or unusual smell
- Frequent urination
- Pain
- Dark or cloudy urine
may warrant medical evaluation.
A UTI occurs when bacteria infect part of the urinary system.
Appropriate treatment may be necessary if an infection is present.

Kidney health and cardiovascular health are closely connected.
Conditions such as high blood pressure can affect the kidneys, while kidney problems can also increase
