The formation of
urine bubbles is mainly related to the surface tension of
the urine liquid. In general, the higher the liquid surface tension is, the
easier it is to form bubbles. It is more likely to form bubbles due to the
surface tension of the urine liquid increase when the urine components change,
such as protein, mucus and organic substance increase. Usually, the occasional
bubbles in the urine are more likely to be physiological but not pathological,
which can get better itself. Next we will introduce some types of urine bubbles
caused by disease.
1. Proteinuria. Abnormal elevation of protein in the urine is one of the most
common causes, it is also an important clinical manifestation of various
diseases, especially the kidney disease. All kinds of primary renal disease,
such as various types of primary glomerular nephritis and secondary kidney
damage, all can lead to proteinuria increase due to the kidney damage. While
with regard to non-urinary system disease such as multiple myeloma, acute
intravascular hemolysis, leukemia,etc, there are still some protein leak out in
the urine although the renal function is normal.
2. Infection of urinary system. On the one hand, the increase of inflammatory
secretions in the urinary tract can increase the surface tension of liquid, on
the other hand, some infections caused by bacteria also can lead to bubbles in
the urine. Common urinary tract infections, including urinary tract infection,
cystitis, prostatitis,etc., are mostly accompanied by urinary frequency,
urgency, urine pain and other symptoms.
3. Diabetes increase. Diabetic patients tend to produce bubbles in the urine
because the elevated blood sugar and the urine sugar accordingly. In addition,
eating a lot of carbon hydrates or inject large number of glucose also can lead
to bubbles emerge.
4. Some other rare causes. Other causes for bubble urine also include bladder
colon fistula,etc., but is very rare, which need special inspection to make a
definite diagnosis.
Above all, for the repetitive bubble urine, it is necessary to see doctor
timely and figure out what cause it on earth.
