How to Detect the Problem Early

Proteinuria can be detected before the damage becomes severe. Simple and accessible tests allow for its early identification, such as:

Urinalysis

Albumin/creatinine ratio

Quantification of protein in urine

Kidney function test

Microalbuminuria is an early sign, comparable to smoke before a fire. It’s the ideal time to intervene and stop the damage from progressing.

Tips and Recommendations

Don’t ignore persistent foam in your urine.

If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, request regular urine tests, even if you feel well.

Keep your blood pressure and glucose levels under control.

Avoid frequent and unnecessary use of anti-inflammatory medications.

Adopte healthy lifestyle habits consistently, not just for short periods.

Have regular medical checkups, especially if you have risk factors.

Persistent foam in the urine can be an early warning sign of kidney damage that is still reversible. Listening to these signals early allows you to protect a vital organ before the problem becomes irreversible. Ignoring it, on the other hand, can mean discovering the damage when it’s too late. Taking care of your kidneys today is investing in your quality of life for the future.
