So I was talking to a guy who has kidney failure and he said when he pisses it foams up real bad in the toilet. So much to the point it will fill up the whole bowl with foam.

With that said, I started paying a little more attention when I take a piss. I noticed mine foams up a little but nothing crazy. Is there a normal amount or should there be none at all?

Ive read it could be a high protein diet or that kidneys are taking a shit and cant process the protein properly. Wondering if I should go see the doc or not?

This is all bullshit, BigWorm pisses sitting down and cant see whether there is foam or not.

I dunno worm, if you have a strong manly stream you tend to get foam regardless.

Never hurts to check with the doc though

You could get checked. I had that and want and took a piss in the cup and it was nagative. What you want to do if concerned is get a 24 hour uranalisis. You will be given a jug to piss in for 24 hours. You'll have to keep in in the refrigerator in between pisses so don't mistake it for juice if you get up groggy in the middle of the night lol. Mine showered some protein in my pee. Creatinine clearance and all types of things are checked. I went to a specialist to get the results read and I was fine do to my diet and muscle mass. What raised the red flag for me was high creatinine levels. If you so get the test don't lift for a few days before the test.

Worm it'll change based on your hydration levels. No big deal. Your kidneys are fine.

I was worried about this also. When i get back from the gym and go pee, there is a lot of foam. I think part of it could be just a strong stream of urine and the other part being dehydrated, which doesn't make sense because i drink about 40-50 oz just during my workout

I had blood work done a few months back when i noticed this and everything came back fine

Regular blood work can miss things. If your really concerned or want piece of mind get the 24 hours pee test. It will tell you exactly how your kidneys are functioning.i was instructed to have it done every 6 months. You have to take care of your kidneys. They are not resilient like our livers.

I would have to agree with BigPaul that would be the sure way to find out. I know that usually your going to get some foam when you have a good stream.

Yeah Worm, I wouldn't panic, many things cause "foamy pee" ........like POB said above about hydration levels, it will change from time to time, you will have a more foam if mildly dehydrated because of the formation of concentrated urine, which causes foamy urine.... many pregnant woman have this....You're not pregnant Big Worm are you!? hahaha! Anyhow, rapid urination, concentrated urine, UTI can all be culprits....hell even certain toilet bowel cleaners could cause your piss to foam more...... if it is something wrong with your kidneys other symptoms are usually present like swelling of ankles, face or feet and even any of these: frequent urination, strong persistant urge to urinate, abdominal pain, cloudy urine with an odor, inability to urinate, blood in the urine and back side/groin pain...... Now I am going to take a piss......

Those symptoms are generally common with later stage kidney disease. Lots of people have it and don't even know it. I'm not saying the OP has something wrong but IMO it's better to be safe them sorry. Most don't connect AAS use with kidney issues directly but when your liver is stressed your kidneys can start to take a beating.

I'm just trying to say that's what I would do. Better safe than sorry. Thank you.

No I fully agree with you! Besides we need to make sure Big Worm is not pregnant......

Okay, time to clear up a few things:

-Foamy urine is normally a sign of proteinuria (excess protein in urine)
This shows that a person has chronic kidney disease, and possible damage to glomerulus

-drugs can cause foamy urine

-large amount of urinating (like after waking) can cause foam

The ONLY time to worry is when there is a substantial amount of foam in urine, as if you mixed it with soap

And as paul said, keep a close eye on kidneys

Thats what hits most bbers (tom prince, flex, nasser, etc)

Bp out of control+nsaids and other drugs=kidney damage

Stay healthy guys

I have literally been forcing the piss out as hard as i possibly can to make as much foam as possible.


I hope I pass the gay foam piss test.

Worm, i say we cross streams and see if we can't make our own "gay club foam party" in the bathroom.

Pissed in a cup for the doctor at work......he ran some sort of test on it and said no blood or protein in it so I guess im ok. I think POB nailed it being hydration related.
