Foamy or frothy urine in diabetic patients could be an early warning sign of kidney damage. In this video, Dr. Ramesh Gopi, Specialist in Internal Medicine at KIMSHEALTH Nagercoil, explains how protein leakage (proteinuria) occurs, why it causes frothy urine, and why timely detection is crucial. Early diagnosis and proper diabetes management, along with specific medications, can help control or even reverse the condition. If you notice persistent frothy urine and have diabetes, get your urine microalbumin or urine protein-creatinine ratio checked and consult your doctor.
