Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've noticed some changes in my urine recently, like it being foamy and sometimes a bit darker. I haven't seen blood, but I'm concerned about these changes. Is this something I should be worried about?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

These changes in your urine could be a sign of an acute glomerulonephritis or prerenal disease, which can affect the kidneys and cause issues like foamy urine or decreased urine output. It’s important to get a full evaluation, including blood tests and possibly a urine analysis, to understand the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment. I recommend scheduling an appointment for a proper assessment as soon as possible.

 

Thanks
