My husband s urine smells like vomit (he flushes, but I can smell it when I enter the bathroom minutes later) and when I mentioned it, he says it is also really frothy. He thinks this is funny, but is there something wrong with his kidneys? Diabetes runs in his family.
Hello, thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. It is good you took this into consideration. Smelly and frothy urine means that he might be losing proteins in urine. Smelly urine could be because of ketones in urine. As diabetes history is present in family it will be very much important to find out his diabetic status. I would like to advise you to get a urine routine examination done and also get a morning fasting blood sugar levels. Urine examination will comment on presence of proteins, ketones, any sort of infection present in urine or not. Fasting blood sugar will tell you whether he is entering in diabetic range of blood sugars or not. If you have a family doctor you can consult him with the reports, or you can revert with me. I will be glad to report it and advice accordingly. Thank you
