Bubbles in urine for PKD patients

High blood pressure, blood in urine and backache are the common symptoms of Polycystic Kidney Disease. However, sometimes patients may see some bubbles in their urine, and they would like to know the reasons.

Firstly, we should know that the bubbles in urine can also appear in common people, for examples, if people get a fever or they do some strenuous exercise, the bubbles may appear when urinating; also the speed and the angle when urinating can cause bubbles. However, people should not be worried about it, the bubbles will disappear after 24 hours or several days naturally. But if patients with PKD find bubbles in urine, they should find out whether the reasons are that mentioned above, if not, it may be related to the damage of kidney function.

Now let's see how PKD cause bubbles.

With the continuous enlargement of cysts, these cysts will oppress the surrounding tissues, which can lead to the damage of kidney function. And the glomerular filtration function and the reabsorption function of kidney tubules will be affected, so the protein will leak out from kidney and then be discharged out of body with urine, and the result is that the bubbles we see in the urine.
