Frothy, Foamy Urine

Im 19 and I've been having foamy urine for at least 2 years now. Didn't give it much thought until recently. So about 3 days ago i got my blood and urine tested and results came back negative for protein and glucose. My eGFR was at 130 and my creatinine was at 0.8. Doctor said i was fine and everything looked normal. I'm still worried. I wonder what causes this foam anyways. Btw the only few things that concerned the doctor was my ldl cholesterol levels and uric acid which were slightly above optimal(according to her, nothing that couldn't be fixed with healthier diet). What do you guys think of this odd foam phenomena?

    Foamy urine on its own, with no other symptoms, is not a symptom of anything at all.

    yes it's true many people with Renal Disease have foamy urine, but foamy urine doesn't meant you have renal disease.

    the only time foamy urine can be considered to be a symptom is if creatinine level is high (which actually means kidney function is low)

    there is a lot of misinformation on the internet, and your Doctor should have told you that.

    so to everyone else NO FOAMY URINE BY ITSELF DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE RENAL DISEASE
