Frothy urine is probably rife with albumen and other proteins.
Urinating protein in quantities in excess of two grams per day is a sure
indicator of renal disease. Itchiness in renal failure is associated
with a build up of phosphates. Your M.D. should test you for
creatinine, BUN, 24 hr protein and carefully monitor your blood pressure.
