    RE: Bubbles in urine
    Hello,

    Bubbles in the urine might be - as you point out - a reflection of high urinary protein. Some protein and some bubbles are normal. To rule out abnormal protein excretion you can undergo a urine albumin and protein to creatinine ratio....
    Hello,

    Bubbles in the urine might be - as you point out - a reflection of high urinary protein. Some protein and some bubbles are normal. To rule out abnormal protein excretion you can undergo a urine albumin and protein to creatinine ratio. If normal (or if only slightly elevated) the bubbles in your urine from a proteinuria perspective are not concerning.

    It would not be unreasonable to ask for it but it will likely be normal. Yes, that is similar to the uACR test. Can combine with PCR as well.
