Kidney issues bubble up, so watch for signs: doctors

By Chang Jui-chen and Jason Pan / Staff reporter, with staff writer

Doctors are advising people to take a more careful look when going to the toilet, as medical studies indicate urine with frothy bubbles or turbid-colored urine may be symptoms of kidney dysfunction. The doctors issued the warning after a kidney screening program at a major hospital in Greater Taichung late last month, which found that 20 percent of the people screened had renal system dysfunctions and related kidney problems. “One of the main factors for the prevalence of kidney illness is the Taiwanese predilection for taking painkillers and assorted over-the-counter drugs,” Greater Taichung Feng Yuan Hospital nephrologist Su Shuo-kai (蘇碩凱) said. Healthy people will see bubbles in the toilet when they urinate with “some applied force,” Su said, but “the frothy bubbles should recede in about 10 to 20 minutes. Urine, when collected in a sample tube, should be in clear liquid form.” “Abnormal frothy bubbles indicate the presence of excessive protein in the urine. This will result in more viscous frothy bubbles that do not recede as easily,” Su said. “So when a person does not flush the toilet and goes to urinate again within one or two hours, if the frothy bubbles remain, they indicate some form of kidney dysfunction. The collected urine will be more turbid,” he said. “Symptoms are not clear in the early stages of kidney disease and are difficult to detect. However, we can detect it by looking for urine with frothy bubbles, swelling in the tissues around the eyes or in the legs, high blood pressure, anemia, lack of appetite and chronic fatigue,” Su said. Those at high risk of kidney disease are people with high protein content in the urine, high blood pressure or diabetes, or who regularly use over-the-counter drugs, he said. Elderly people, along with smokers and those with a family history of renal problems, are also at higher risk, he added. “We advise people with persistent frothy bubbles in their urine or swelling in their lower limbs to get a medical checkup,” Su said. He said people should drink water regularly and eat more vegetables and foods high in fiber, while consuming less salt, oil and sugar to keep kidneys healthy.

Can dehydration show ketones in urine?

myhealth.alberta.ca - Ketones - MyHealth Alberta

Ketones (also called ketone bodies) are substances produced by the body as it breaks down fats for energy, a process called ketosis. Normally the body obtains the energy it needs from sugars (carbohydrates). A person may begin to break down fats and produce ketones because of: Having too little insulin, which prevents the body from using sugar for energy, causing it to break down fat instead.

Fasting or starvation.

Prolonged vomiting or diarrhea.

A diet that is low in sugars and starches (carbohydrates).

Ketone testing can be done anytime using a urine test strip or a blood sugar meter that tests for ketones.. If ketone levels are very high or if the person is dehydrated, ketones may begin to build up in the blood. High blood levels of ketones may cause fruity-smelling breath, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and fast, deep breathing. In severe cases, it may lead to coma and death. In a pregnant woman, even a moderate amount of ketones in her blood may harm the fetus. Ketones may signal diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition that is caused by very high blood sugar levels.
