Protein in Urine
Can we see protein in urine from our own eyes, I mean i have read on Google that if your urine is foamy and not disappearing in few minutes, it means you have proteinurea, Please advise is it right as i also have same symptoms. I had Albumin to creatinine ratio checked which was 12mg something on 13th april 2018 with Microalbuminia 22mg per dl and spot protein 23mg per dl, there were traces of albumin in routine urine analysis. My nephro says this is under normal range and you should get it checked in 1 year or so Please advise do i need to check it again as mostly i have morning foamy urine which after few minutes forms a ring in toilet bowl or my nephro is right in his approach?

It is microalbuminurea,not macro albuminurea. Regular follow up 6 monthly to one year is advisable. Avoid urinary tract infection, hypertension and diabetes if any should be adequately addressed
