What Causes Flank Pain And Frothy Urine?
Hi,
I have recently had some pain in my left flank, it does feel like a kidney pain. And this is (unfortunatly) allways after drinking. My urine seems the normal colour , but i am concerned about frothy urine apparantly due to loss of protein. Would loss of protein thru my urine make me feel weak? And also what could this ache be related to alcohol? i have cut down quite a bit recently and are also quite active. But i still have the odd drinking session now and again!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain in left flank might be due to renal stone or urinary tract infection and frothy urine does indicate protein loss in urine and yes loss of protein from body in any condition leads to weakness. If you have come to me i would have advised you to get your complete urine examination and ultrasound of kidney ureter and urinary bladder which would have ruled out infection or stone disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
