Bubbles in Urine/Hepatitis Reseacher?

        Has anyone ever heard of this? Several years ago I mentioned to a Doctor of Chinese Medicine that I thought I have Cryoglobulemia because of symtoms (symptoms) I had read about. He told me to watch for a lot of "bubbles in the urine" because it could mean that it was affecting my kidneys.

        Well about a year and a half ago I started noticing a lot of bubbles in my urine. Sometimes it was foamy like the top of a beer. I went to my PCP and she did a bunch of blood and urine tests that all came back normal. My GI said i would have sores if I had Cryo. So I don't really know if I definetly have Cryo.

        Anyway, I am on week 18 of 24 for type 3a. I am taking shot 19 today. "YESTERDAY the Bubbles went away for the first time in a year and a half. Has anyone heard of this before. Bubbles in Urine etc. What do you think of it going away all of a sudden?

        Any input would be appreciated

Thanks
Bobby

I get that also from time to time -- bubbly/foamy urine. "Google" will tell you that it could be caused by protein the urine -- did you have yours checked? My urologist told me it's pretty normal and may have to do with my diet, in spite of the fact that I sometimes have trace protein on urine tests.  Western Medicine seems best at dealing with things when they reach a crisis stage FWIW.

Somewhere along the line I read that it can be common with type 2 diabetes. Before tx did you have high blood sugar issues or dx'd with type 2?  Have you watched any Don Ho retrospective tributes lately?

And according to these bowl watchers, reasons could range from temperature of the toilet water, to dehydration to hose force.

      I googled that also. "Protein in urine". My PCP checked all that. All my blood work before treatment was normal except for elevated LFT's. My urine was foamy 90% of the time.

      I don't have Diabetis. Blood sugar is always normal.  

DON HO...boy that brings back memorys. I remember many a late night in a neighborhood bar about 30 years ago with that song on the Juke box over and over again.
