Does The Symptoms Of Nausea, Lower Back Pain, Headache And Frequent Urination Indicate Kidney Problems?
I'm concerned regarding these symptoms and trying to determine if I may be having kidney problems. My symptoms include nausea that comes and goes, low back pain, fatigue, headache, frequent urination that has recently been foamy and bubbly. I have been to physicians twice over past 2 months and no Uti. I do have interstitial cystitis and borderline diabetes which is treated with metformin. Had a very light period a few wks ago but no positive preg test. Just wondering if this sounds kidney related or what might be causing these symptoms. Thanks!

hello,
you didn't answer if you made any other tests except test for uti. My suggestion is to visit your GP and make blood tests to check the function of your kidneys. These symptoms can be a sign of kidney problems.
