What is the reason for white bubbles in a child's urine?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, what could be the reason for white bubbles in my child's urine?

Doctor's answer:

For foamy urine, a rough judgment can be made:
1. If the bubbles are large or of varying sizes and last for a short time, this is due to some organic substances (glucose) and inorganic substances (mineral salts) in the urine, which make the urine surface tension strong. These are normal bubbles caused by urination. No need to worry.
2. If large bubbles disappear quickly, be alert to the possibility of diabetes.
3. If there is a layer of fine bubbles floating on the surface of the urine and they persist for a long time, it is likely proteinuria. The method of identification is to take a test tube or small bottle, fill it with 20 milliliters of urine, and shake it back and forth by hand. If fine bubbles appear on the surface of the urine and do not dissipate quickly, it is suspected proteinuria. This is seen in kidney diseases and other conditions and should be taken seriously.
