ive got quite a few more bubbles in urine as of late and am concerned i may be pissing protein
stopped all supps otc or otherwise and got recent bloodwork done which showed all kidney values within normal ranges (minerals, egfr, creatinine, albumin etc) but dr didnt req a urinalysis or include cystatin-c on my labs
to my inexperienced eye i dont know if my piss qualifies as foamy as the bubbles arent super small and do dissipate with time, i have no other symptoms to lead me to believe i have kidney issues but i have cut my protein intake in half in the interim just to be safe and stopped adding salt to my meals (still training my ass off though)
after reading as much as i can on here i want to cover my bases to be sure there are no signs of kidney issues, going to pay out of pocket for a UA but i am curious to know if a basic UA for protein will be enough, if I should include microalbumin/creatinine (it seems like i should) or if there are any other urinalysis related kidney function tests/values i should make sure to get included?
thanks in advance from a paranoid hypochondriac
