I'm a bit worried because I've noticed my urine is really foamy. I did some tests, and my uric acid is 7.2, and creatinine is 1.1. Also, I feel like I need to pee really often after drinking water. Plus, there's this annoying pain in my foot. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do next?

There must be protien loss in the urine,get complete urine examination to look for protien loss and visit nephrologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my current health situation. My creatinine level is 3.6 and my eGFR is 19. Is there any way to lower my creatinine or at least stop it from going higher? I've heard about Ketosterilwould it be safe or effective for me to take it to help with my creatinine levels?

Creatinine levels can be managed, but reduction or stopping increase depends on underlying kidney function. Consult a nephrologistKetosteril (ketosteril): Not recommended as primary treatment
