Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Greenish saliva is likely to be due to gastric and biliary secretion or from sputum containing bacteria. Nephrotic syndrome will never cause a greenish saliva in the morning.

It is possible that you are having acid reflux disease and are doing fasting for long hours. This will cause the acid to sediment in the stomach. In the early morning, when you wake up there will be increased acid in the stomach from over night fasting. In the lying position the acid tends to ascend the food pipe and enter the mouth. This is secreted as greenish saliva. Please get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Please do not worry.
