Can frothy urine improve with proteinuria management?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old male with HTN (Telmisartan 40 mg and CTD 6.25 mg) for the past six years, with a body weight of 176 lbs.

For some days I have noticed froth in urine and facial puffiness. I want your suggestion. My RFT was normal but I have not checked my urine for protein or USG abdomen. Can you please guide me regarding further management?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your main concern is regarding facial puffiness. For that, you can do following investigations:

  1. Serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) estimation to rule out hypothyroidism, SGPT (alanine transaminase), SGOT (aspartate transaminase).
  2. Serum protein, serum albumin estimation for checking liver disease.
  3. EKG for checking cardiac cause.
  4. If forehead pain is present and repeated allergy history, then PNS X-ray is done to rule out sinusitis.

According to cause specific treatment is given. Urine routine microscopic examination also can be done.

Take care.
