Hi mga ka-r/dialysisphilippines,

Gusto ko lang sana mag-share ng experience ko and humingi na rin ng insights kung may naka-encounter na ng same case.

Last March, a few days after I was injected with Penicillin G for syphilis treatment, napansin ko na naging foamy na yung ihi ko. Until now present pa rin siya.

Napansin ko rin na nagva-vary yung foam:

• Makapal / maraming foam pag bagong gising or pag dehydrated / matagal di uminom ng tubig
• Konti lang at mabilis mawala pag marami akong nainom na tubig

Nagalala ako... so nagpa-Creatinine + eGFR test ako — and thankfully, within normal range lahat (Creatinine normal, eGFR 98).

Pero hindi pa rin ako kampante kasi tuloy pa rin yung foamy urine, so nagpa-Urologist consult ako. Pinagawa sa akin:

• Urinalysis → negative sa protein and glucose
• Fasting Blood Sugar → normal
• HbA1c → normal

Ang hindi lang natest is uACR (urine albumin-creatinine ratio) kasi wala siya sa request at wala rin sa testing facility namin.

Also during consultation with Urologist, nireseta sa akin yung Renadyl (kidney supplement). Kaso after checking, wala akong makita na legit/local available sellers. Nahanap ko lang yung Renakult as possible alternative.

So I just want to ask:

• May naka-experience na ba dito ng foamy urine kahit normal creatinine, urinalysis, FBS, HbA1c?
• Worth it ba magpa-uACR test kahit normal na ibang results?
• May nakatry na ba sa inyo ng Renadyl or Renakult? Any feedback?
• May alam ba kayo na alternative kidney supplements with similar ingredients?
• Possible ba na dehydration lang talaga ang cause kahit consistent yung foam?
• Sa mga CKD/dialysis patients dito, ganito ba unang signs ninyo?

Appreciate any thoughts or experiences. Medyo nag-ooverthink lang talaga ako kasi persistent siya kahit okay naman yung labs.
